1st place in the NFC South is on the line Sunday afternoon in the Falcons vs Bucs matchup as part of the week 7 slate. It likely won’t take much to win this division again this season, but currently Tampa Bay sits atop at 3-2 with Atlanta right there also at 3-3.
Before Betting on Falcons vs Bucs Week 7
Sunday will be just Atlanta’s second true road game of the season, losing to Detroit 20-6 in week 3 and also falling to Jacksonville at a neutral site in London 23-7 in week 4. While the Falcons may not be that adept at away tilts, the Bucs also haven’t really protected their home field this year going just 1-2 so far at Raymond James Stadium.
Fans of offense might want to look away from this game and even the offshore betting total of 37 seems on the high side. Falcons QB Desmond Ridder has just 6 TD passes on the season and threw 3 INTs last week in a 24-16 loss to Washington. The Bucs aren’t much better, managing just two field goals in a 20-6 loss to Detroit last week even while coming off a bye.
If these poor offenses are a wash, then the defenses might be as well. The Falcons rank 4th in the NFL in total yards allowed (278.2 ypg) but Tampa Bay is 7th in the league giving up just 17.6 points/game.

Falcons vs Bucs Week 7 Prediction & Pick
This game is kind of a handicapper’s nightmare as calling both teams mediocre would even be a stretch. Do you favor Tampa Bay since they are at home or do you take the points in this toss-up matchup? Either way, with two inept offenses and two very solid defensive units the best way to play this one is just on the total.
