The Falcons are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 road games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Buccaneers are 0-5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC and 3-0-2 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Falcons last 7 games in December. The over is 11-2 in Buccaneers last 13 games overall. The Falcons are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Tampa Bay. The home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
The Atlanta Falcons have been a completely different team since their bye week and look like the playoff contender we expected to see from the start. Obviously too little too late, but the Falcons have been a profitable team we've been riding the last couple of months. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played above expectations, but right when you're ready to buy what they're selling, Winston returns to the interception machine he's been for most of his carer and it reminds you why you can't trust this team. The Atlanta Falcons are playing better, cleaner football and they have the more trustworthy quarterback in this meaningless matchup. Give me the road team and the free point.
