This matchup is expected to be a close one and likely coming down to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the final possession, and has the potential to be a field goal game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a letdown against the Broncos, the Bucs returned to their winning ways with a dominating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>victory against the Eagles. Tampa jumped out to a 24-0 and never looked back as Baker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayfield was impressive, completing 30 of his 47 passes for 347 yards, two touchdowns, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>no interceptions. The Buccaneers are averaging almost 25 points per game while giving up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>about 20, and are 2-2 on the totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Atlanta Falcons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falcons have been inconsistent to start the season alternating losses and wins for the first<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>four games. Atlanta showed some poise Sunday coming back to win on a last-second field<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>goal. Overall, the offense ranks 21st in the league averaging 19 points a game, a bit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>underwhelming considering the weapons Kirk Cousins has. This appears to be a game where<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the running attack can be successful. Tampa has allowed more than 100 team yards in every<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>game and ranks 11th against the run. Bijan Robinson was quiet last week, just seven carries<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for 28 yards. Between him and Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta could find some success. This should be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tight but the home team comes away with a narrow, last minute victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Falcons -1.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Player Prop Best Bets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mike Evans: Anytime TD (+150)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falcons have had troubles stopping receivers this season allowing 110 yards and a TD to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rashee Rice, DeVonta Smith also found paydirt, and Saints wideouts, Chris Olave and Rashid<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shaheed had 87 and 83 yards, respectively. Evans was targeted 14 times against the Eagles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>recording 8 receptions for 94 yards and a TD. Mayfield is always looking for his favorite target<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and should have chances against this defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bijan Robinson OVER 2.5 Receptions (-135)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like Tyler Allgeier is taking away carries from Bijan Robinson so let\u2019s use Robinson as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a receiver instead. He\u2019s averaging almost 4 attempts and 34 yards receiving per game. He\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>gone over his total in 3 of four games. Tampa\u2019s defense hasn\u2019t been able to contain rushers in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the backfield, allowing 243 yards to RB\u2019s this season, the second-most in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Game Betting Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buccaneers +1.5 (-110)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falcons -1.5 (-110)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total: 43.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Series Head-to-head<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucs are 31-30 all-time and 4-1 on the road in this series since 2019.
