Tampa Bay Buccaneers favored at home vs. Atlanta Falcons in Week 17

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the betting favorites in their Week 17 home game vs. the Atlanta Falcons.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-5) have already locked up a playoff berth, but they’ll try to secure the No. 5 seed with a win over the visiting Atlanta Falcons (4-11) Sunday. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium is slated for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Buccaneers-Falcons betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Falcons have had little trouble passing the ball, ranking fifth at 273.7 yards per game. But their defense has been abysmal, performing as one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. The defense allows 287.1 passing YPG to rank 31st, and yields 392.6 total YPG to rank 28th. Atlanta has lost four in a row, though all of those losses were within five points.

The Buccaneers have gotten hot at just the right time, winning three straight heading into the regular-season finale. They crushed the Lions 47-7 last week and once again look like legitimate contenders in the NFC. A win will lock them into the No. 5 seed, setting up a first-round matchup with the NFC East winner.

Kansas City Chiefs big home favorites vs. Atlanta Falcons in Week 16

The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites in their Week 16 home game vs. the Atlanta Falcons.

The AFC-leading Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) will host the Atlanta Falcons (4-10) Sunday of Week 16 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.  Below, we take a look at the early Chiefs-Falcons betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Falcons are coming off a disappointing 31-27 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15. Atlanta led 24-7 with 7:34 remaining in the third quarter but was outscored 24-3 the rest of the way. The Falcons have dropped their last three games by a combined 12 points, eliminating them from playoff contention. They rank fourth in passing yards (273.4 yards per game) and 15th in scoring (25.4 points per game), but the defense has been a major weak spot – 31st in passing (287.7 YPG) and 28th in total yards allowed (392.4 YPG).

The Chiefs have been rolling all season, winning their last nine games after suffering their only loss in Week 5 at home to the Las Vegas Raiders 40-32. In Week 15, QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in a 32-29 victory at the New Orleans Saints, concluding their regular season with a perfect 8-0 record. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire injured his hip and ankle in the fourth quarter. Early reports claim he’ll miss the remainder of the regular season. Kansas City has scored at least 22 points in every game, topping 30 points nine times. The Chiefs rank second in points (31.1 PPG), first in total yards (427.9 YPG) and first in passing yards (311.4 YPG).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers road favorites at Atlanta Falcons in Week 15

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the betting favorites in their Week 15 road game at the Atlanta Falcons.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-5) visit the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) Sunday of Week 15 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff in an NFC South battle – the first of two head-to-head meetings in the season’s final three weeks. Here’s a look at the early Buccaneers-Falcons betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

QB Tom Brady and the Bucs came off their late-season bye and snapped a two-game losing streak with a 26-14 victory over the visiting Minnesota Vikings, covering as 7-point favorites. Brady threw for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns, hooking up with WR Scotty Miller and TE Rob Gronkowski for scores, while RB Ronald Jones rushed for 80 yards and a TD. Defensively, Tampa Bay sacked Vikings QB Kirk Cousins six times, helping offset Minnesota’s 162-107 rushing-yard and 39:03-20:57 time-of-possession advantages. Also greatly aiding the Bucs’ cause were three missed field-goal attempts and a missed extra point by the Vikings.

The Falcons dropped their third decision in their last four games, losing 20-17 to the host Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14. A 43-yard field goal as time expired won it for LA, which was a 1-point favorite. QB Matt Ryan threw for 224 yards, including a 39-yard scoring pass to WR Calvin Ridley, but tossed a season-high three interceptions. The final pick came at the Chargers’ 33-yard line with 30 seconds remaining and set the stage for the game-winning field goal. WR Russell Gage also threw a TD, hooking up with fellow WR Laquon Treadwell on a 9-yard pass. Ridley finished with a game-high 124 receiving yards on eight catches. However, the 3-1 turnover deficit proved to be too much to overcome for Atlanta.

Las Vegas Raiders small road favorites at Atlanta Falcons in Week 12

The Las Vegas Raiders are the betting favorites in their Week 12 road game at the Atlanta Falcons.

The Las Vegas Raiders (6-4) visit the Atlanta Falcons (3-7) in Week 12 Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Raiders had a three-game win streak snapped with a 35-31 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Week 11 Sunday Night Football game. There were five lead changes in the second half with Kansas City winning on QB Patrick Mahomes’ 22-yard touchdown pass to TE Travis Kelce with 28 seconds to go, capping a 7-play, 75-yard drive in 1 minute, 15 seconds. Las Vegas had taken a 31-28 lead when QB Derek Carr (275 passing yards, 3 TDs) and TE Jason Witten connected for a 1-yard TD pass with 1:43 remaining. The Raiders did cover as 8-point underdogs and covered their fourth game in a row.

The Falcons lost 24-9 at the New Orleans Saints in Week 11, failing to cover as 3.5-point underdogs and snapping a two-game win streak. QB Matt Ryan was sacked eight times and threw two interceptions during a 19-for-37 passing performance with 232 yards and no touchdowns. Meanwhile, Saints QB Taysom Hill, filling in for an injured Drew Brees, threw for 233 yards and ran for two scores in his first career start. Falcons RB Todd Gurley only had 26 of the team’s 52 total rushing yards, while Atlanta finished 2-for-14 on third-down conversions. A bright note was the return of WR Calvin Ridley, who caught 5 passes for 90 yards.
