The Atlanta Falcons (2-2) will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Falcons vs. Buccaneers odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
After dropping their first 2 games of the season, the Falcons evened their record with a 23-20 home victory against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4.
In what looked like a lackadaisical offensive performance all around, QB Marcus Mariota completed 7 of 19 passes for 139 yards with no TDs and an interception.
Trailing 13-10 after 3 quarters, Atlanta outscored Cleveland 13-7 in the 4th to claim victory in front of their home crowd. The Falcons hope to keep the win streak going as they visit the rival Bucs, who they are tied with atop the NFC South.

Tampa Bay is coming off a tough week, dealing with the aftereffects of Hurricane Ian which forced the team to practice in Miami all week, and losing 41-31 to QB Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The game started with a fumbled kick return, which put the Chiefs immediately in scoring position on which they capitalized with a TD and never looked back.
QB Tom Brady did shine on offense though, going 39-for-52 for 385 yards and 3 TDs, but the running game never got going with only 3 total yards the entire game.
Although the Bucs suffered a 2nd consecutive loss, the bright spot for Tampa Bay fans is the team did not give in and continued to try to claw back the entire night against one of the best teams in the NFL.

Falcons vs. Buccaneers head-to-head
This will be the 5th time these teams have faced each other since 2020 and Tampa Bay has dominated the matchup, winning the past 4 games in the series. As a matter of fact, the Buccaneers have won the last 3 contests by at least 2 possessions. Until the last meeting, a Tampa Bay 30-17 victory with an O/U line of 51.0, the rivals played 7 Overs in a row.
The Falcons have not played well against the spread recently in the series. They are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 in Tampa Bay and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 overall meetings. They will need to adjust on the fly with dual-threat RB Cordarrelle Patterson going to the IR with a knee injury.
