Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Preview
Desmond Ridder certainly is going through some growing pains as a second-year starting quarterback for Atlanta. Ridder has six passing touchdowns but also six interceptions on the season.
Ridder is trying to get accustomed to Drake London, who has emerged as his top target. London sees his NFL Player Stats showing he has 329 yards and two touchdowns.
Bijan Robinson, in his rookie season, has yet to rush for a touchdown but has a couple via the pass game. Robinson has 401 rushing yards on 80 carries this season. The Falcons are scoring just 16.5 points per game, which is the fourth worst in the league.
The Atlanta Falcons schedule shows they are playing their first of back-to-back road games. Next week, the Falcons are at the Tennessee Titans.
Tough Week for Tampa Bay
Last week is one the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would like to have back. The loss was their second in three home games this season. Tampa Bay has seen Baker Mayfield come in as the starting quarterback and throw seven touchdowns to three interceptions. The offense could not get moving last week, scoring just six points to Detroit. In their other loss this season, they scored just 11.
Tampa Bay is one of the worst rushing teams in the league this season. The Buccaneers, when looking at the overall NFL Team Stats, are under 80 yards per game. Rachaad White just cannot get things going, with just 232 yards and a touchdown so far this season.
Mike Evans remains the top target for Tampa Bay’s offense, with 386 yards and three touchdowns. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster is much of what made the postseason a season ago without legendary quarterback Tom Brady.
The Buccaneers will play their next two games on the road. They have a Thursday Night Football affair in Week 8 at the Buffalo Bills, and then the following Sunday will play at the Houston Texans.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Picks
This is the first of two games between these two teams. The two teams will meet up again in Atlanta on December 10th. That game will likely see a pair of .500 teams. That is what this division is. Remember, this is a division that saw their champion finish under .500 a season ago.
Look for a low-scoring affair here, with the Falcons running the football and Tampa Bay using short passing and good defense. The total at 38.5 even seems like that could be too low.
Barring any late additions to the NFL injury report, the Buccaneers are going to win at home.
When looking at the Falcons vs Buccaneers odds: Take Tampa Bay 20-14 in Week 7 action. Bet the Buccaneers -2.5!
Good luck with all your NFL Picks!
