Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction

I’ll stick with the Buccaneers. On Monday Tampa Bay gave up a ton of offense to the Ravens. The Bucs surrendered 508 total yards (264 passing), 9.4 yards per play, and 22 first downs. The good news is that the Tampa Bay offense notched 481 yards (356 passing), 29 first downs, and an excellent 12-of-18 on third-down conversions. That said, the Buccaneers committed eight penalties for 75 yards and had a couple of turnovers. A lot of the production came in garbage time as well.

As for the Falcons, they couldn’t get out of their own way in the loss to the Seahawks over the weekend. Atlanta committed nine penalties for 72 yards and also had three turnovers on offense. In their three previous games (all wins), the Falcons scored at least 26 points. I like a decent total here as well as a close finish but I don’t think Atlanta will quite cover.
