Just like last time around, perhaps the most important game of Tampa Bay’s season will come against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Bucs and the Falcons square off on Dec. 10 in what could be a deciding matchup in the NFC South, as the 5-7 Bucs are coming off a win and are just one game back from the 6-6 Atlanta Falcons. The matchup will be played in Atlanta, and should the Bucs win, they’ll take share of first place in the NFC South — should the Bucs lose, though, their playoff chances will grow dire.
The Falcons are favored in the game by 2.5 points, per BetMGM. The over/under is currently set at 39 points and the Falcons are favored on the moneyline at -135.
The last time the two teams played, the Falcons defeated the Bucs in a grueling game that ended 16-13 in favor of Atlanta after kicker Younghoe Koo hit the walk-off kick to win. Tampa Bay will look to avoid that this time around,
