Pro Football Network: Jets 21, Falcons 20
Ben Rolfe writes: "This game will take place in London, which always adds another element to the proceedings. The Jets come into the game having won their first game in Week 4, while the Falcons faced another heartbreaking loss. The Jets had to play a full 10-minute overtime, which is exacerbated by a long-haul flight to London. Then again, can you ever trust the Falcons to win comfortably? This one should go right down to the last drive."

Cole Huff writes: "With just one win on the season, both teams enter this contest with different momentum. The Jets have got to feel good about the performance that they put together during Week 4 and should feel confident heading into Week 5. Atlanta might still be feeling the after-effects of a blown Week 4 game to Washington and might come out sluggish in Week 5. Atlanta, with some offensive weapons, still figures out how to bounce back and win this game, but expect for this to be a low-scoring and tightly contested game in London."
Sportsnaut: Jets 41, Falcons 34
Andrew Buller-Russ writes: "What have the Falcons done to really upgrade their defense? A new coordinator in Dean Pees can bring all kinds of simulated pressure, but the caliber of personnel is still lacking in a big way. An awful salary cap situation hasn’t helped. Given Atlanta’s tendency to blow big leads, this has all the makings of a massive letdown for the hosts."

Tyler Greenawalt writes: "Playing overseas doesn’t really help anyone in this scenario, but the Falcons’ areone of those finicky teams that look good and bad at the same time. It’ll be close, but Atlanta’s more experienced team should pull off the win."
Sportnaut: Falcons 31, Jets 27
Vincent Frank writes: "It’s going to be interesting for first-year Jets head coach Robert Saleh. The former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator has seen major struggles on that side of the ball with the Jets’ offense taking off under rookieZach Wilson. Even without Julio Jones in the mix, we’re expecting Atlanta to pick up its second win of the season."

Jordan Dajani writes: "Wilson gets a chance to expand his brand across the pond here in Week 5, but 9:30 a.m. ET football isn't always fun. The Falcons aren't always a fun opponent, either, as they can put up points with the best of them even though they aren't known for being able to keep a lead. The Falcons had one matchup against theDetroit Lionsin England in 2014. Unfortunately, it was yet another game in which the Falcons suffered a collapse, as they blew a 21-0 lead to lose 22-21. I predict the Falcons jump out to an early lead, but Wilson orchestrates a comeback in the fourth quarter. In the end, however, Atlanta leaves London with a win."
