Our Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
The Bucs are short favorites in this game, partly due to the fact that they just won the NFC South a year ago and do not have as many question marks as the Falcons do. That being said, Atlanta has plenty of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball and has the potential to be one of the league’s top scoring teams, depending on the play of Michael Penix Jr.
Further, Atlanta’s defense is a question mark with some new faces, including rookies Jalon Walker and James Pierce Jr. Add in the fact that the Falcons have had the Bucs' number over the last two seasons, beating them in three of their last four meetings, which includes both meetings last season. Because of that, our Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers prediction is: Atlanta Falcons ML.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
