Falcons vs Buccaneers +2.5 O/U 46
This should be a fun game in Tampa where the Buccaneers are going to try and avenge their loss to the Falcons. This would be great for them, but the biggest issue with that is injuries. Last Week, Tampa lost their two best wide recievers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to injury. To add to that, RB Bucky Irving is banged up along with some of their defense. Speaking of defense, that has been a big problem for the swash bucklers as the Bucs only rank 22nd in defensive EPA and 28th against the pass. To make matters worse, Tampa Bay has a short week as they lost to the Ravens on Monday night football giving them less time to prepare for their division rival. The Falcons rank 23rd in defensive EPA, but they have gotten heathier in their linebacker positions. They are coming off of a bad loss themselves, and will need a big win today on the road. I have seen Baker Mayfield play the game with nobody to throw the ball to before, and it isn’t pretty. Take the Falcons under the three.
Falcons -2.5 – 2 stars
Teaser: Chargers to -1 with the Eagles to +8.5 – 2.5 stars
