LOL best team in the NFC is never a 9 point dog.  Sorry bud.

Falcons win this pretty easily.  Tampa is not a contender.

31-17 Falcons

This would appear to be "Exposure Day" for the Bucs

Wins were accumulated vs #32 SOS

Saints & Steelers the barometer - Bucs lost to both

Falcons beat Saints and played Steelers tough-than won 4 in row

Falcons buried Arizona and Bucs squeeked by them.

Public is betting the Bucs as value being 3-0 on the road.

By Kickoff it should be Falcons -7

Thanks Waz44... Good points.

BUT... I'll buck those trends and take the points. I can't trust ATL -9 at this point. I think this game stays under 40 points so taking the +9 to me might just get me the ATS win here. I'm not saying that TB wins SU but that I like the points cushion.

this spread is ridiculously high as Bucs always play the Falcons tough.  this is also a huge revenge game for Freeman & the Bucs since both of last year's matches were close losses for them.  in fact, the falcons had to win the 1st match @ Atlanta in the closing seconds and in the second match they won in Tampa because rookie Freeman threw a bad pick in the 4th quarter.

this tampa team should not be overlooked.  they're young but they're well coached / talented squad.  and now they'll have the X-factor in RB Blount.

TAMPA PLUS POINTS / POSSIBLE ML PLAY

TAMPA BAY + 9

TB +9... The bucs have covered the spread 5 of the last 6 meetings againts atlanta. Atlanta's offense averages 24 pts per game while TB averages 19. Atlanta's defense gives up 23 pts per game while TB averages 23.

ATL 23  TB 20

The books are trying to get all of the Tampa Bay money they can with this line.  Don't be foolish and take the bait.

Atlanta -9

posts like this kill me.  it's as if u believe that the books already know the outcome of the game.  get real.

Atlanta - 28                              Tampa Bay - 16

Falcons -9                           under 44.5

Bucs are 8-2 last 10 trips to Atlanta.  oh oh, hopefully the rest week will have the Birds primed and ready to fire  

Dirty Birds and the Under for me

so they have to win this game...wont happen
