2. Matt Ryan will throw for over 300 yards

As a result of the success on the offensive side of the ball, Matt Ryan will once again throw for over 300 yards against the Jaguars in Atlanta. So far in the 2019 campaign, Ryan has tallied a total of 3,769 yards passing through the air in a total of 13 games, ranking fifth in the NFL among quarterbacks in total passing yards going into Week 16.

While holding a completion percentage of 66.5 percent up to this point in the year, Ryan is averaging 7.2 yards per pass attempt, is averaging 289.9 yards per game through the air and has tallied a total of 24 touchdowns with 12 interceptions for the Falcons.

Through 15 weeks of action in the season, Ryan has surpassed the 300-yard passing mark a total of nine times in his 13 overall appearances going into the Week 16 contest against Jacksonville, and he will add to that total following the weekend games around the NFL.

In the Week 15 win on the road against San Francisco, Ryan was able to rely and lean on star wide receiver Julio Jones throughout the game, something that will likely occur once again this weekend in the final home game for the Falcons.

At the end of the contest, Ryan will have surpassed the 300-yard passing mark once again this season and will help the Atlanta offense put up some points on the scoreboard for yet another week.
