Buccaneers at Falcons picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Falcons 23

Moneyline

BET BUCCANEERS (+105).

Tampa Bay found its offensive groove again in Week 4 scoring 33 points. It is 1-0 on the road this season and has held opponents to 16 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3 games.

The Falcons narrowly avoided a 2-game skid last week with a last-second field goal, but will struggle to go toe-to-toe against a Buccaneers team that has scored 33 or more points in 2 of its first 4 games.

Against the spread

PASS.

There is better value on Buccaneers ML.

Over/Under

BET OVER 44 (-110).

Tampa Bay has allowed 16 or more points in each of its 4 games this season. Atlanta has allowed 18 or more points in each of its 4 games, including 21 or more in each of the last 3. On offense, the Buccaneers have scored 20 or more points in 3 of their 4 games — including 33 or more in 2 of the 4 — while the Falcons have scored 17 or more in each of their last 3.
