Predicted stack time in Atlanta didn't happen.
Nice jetstream can bump airspeed by over 100mph (unlikely going S on east coast).
Airline needed the plane for something else, so authorized the pilot to burn some extra fuel.
First one is the most likely. Airlines also allocate a LOT more time for flights, since they get penalized more for delays now. Which means basically every flight lands "early". It's only about 750 miles at ~550mph. So 90minutes is plenty. Anything else is just airline schedule padding.
Edit: Quick look shows 2:20 for a bunch of flights. Shaving a hour off that is easily possible.

Anybody who talked about time zones is a doof. Get a map ffs. How do you not know Atlanta and NY are in the same time zone?

Atlanta is 10º west of NYC. A time zone is only 15º, and the damn things don't go in straight lines. If you were from some non-US location, it's a reasonable question.

False.
There are no reasonable questions of a non-US basis.

Could have caught a southbound jet stream
way shorter taxi estimate for both take off and landing
shorter time required to wait for runway to clear to land
really conservative estimate
I would say a mixture of all 4. I've landed 45 mins early a number of times. In fact I don't think I've ever landed on time or late before. Though a flight from NYC to Atlanta is like... 2 hour and 15 mins tops? or something?
Some pilots will also have a faster cruise speed than the typical if the weather ahead of them is favorable for it
