Falcons vs Buccaneers Prediction
The Falcons and Buccaneers played on October 3rd, with the Falcons winning in overtime, 36-30. That game was back and forth, but this time it may not be the same. Evans and Godwin were the leading receivers for Tampa Bay in that matchup, but they are out for a while. Atlanta is looking for a bounce-back game on offense and Tampa Bay presents it. The Buccaneers will still have a strong rushing game, but they may struggle through the air.
