Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Betting on the Atlanta Falcons: 

 

 

 

The Falcons are favored by (-4.5) over the Bucs (+4.5) and the over/under is set at 40.5. While this game bears no relation to playoff standings, I was surprised to see that the Falcons were favorites, especially with Tampa HC Todd Bowles announcing that they have no plans to seat their players. Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Prediction of the Atlanta Falcons 

The Buccaneers won the division in a critical 30-24 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs offense was in the doldrums all season, but finally gave us the performance we were all hoping for as they amassed 478 total yards, including QB Tom Brady throwing for 432 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs. The Bucs are guaranteed the fourth seed and a home game, likely against the Cowboys in the wild card round. Even with their mostly predetermined wild card matchup, don't expect the Bucs to jump out of this game and rest their starters. HC Todd Bowles announced that their starters will most likely play because they don't want to "take their foot off the gas and have a lot of room for improvement." This definitely makes sense as the Bucs will enter the playoffs with more confidence if they build more momentum and consistency.

 

The Falcons are out of contention, but the team received a morale boost when rookie QB Desmond Ridder got his first win of the season against the Cardinals last Sunday. The win also ended the team's 4 game losing streak. Desmond Ridder continued his streak of continuous improvement by completing 73% of his passes for a 90.1 mark. Falcons fans are slowly buoyed by his improvement and Ridder is hoping to finish his rookie season strong against the Bucs.

 

 

 

I take the Bucs to upset the Falcons. As long as Brady and the starters are playing, I think they can survive the Desmond Ridder-led Falcons.

Check out the key matchups and mismatches for the Bucs vs Falcons below. Falcons running game against the Bucs defensive front 

In the first meeting between these teams this season, the Falcons rushed for 151 yards. However, the rushing game looked different at that point in the season, as quarterback Marcus Mariota gained the fastest yards while Cordarelle Patterson was sidelined with an injury. However, the Falcons kept the No. 3 Offense running thanks to their double up on Cordarelle Patterson and Tyler Allegeier. Allegeier has 900 rushing yards on the season and can reach 1,000 if he has a strong 100-yard run this Sunday. The Bucs' defensive front put in an impressive performance that limited the Panthers' outstanding rushing game to just 74 yards combined. With bosses like LB Devin White, LB Lavonte David and DT Vita Tea lined up out front, the Bucs shouldn't be intimidated by the Falcons' running game.
