5* Best Bet
(NFL) Atlanta vs. Tampa Bay,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -105.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the BUCCANEERS here. Yep. Going ugly again on a Thursday night. Tampa off a crazy OT loss to the Raiders. They are sinking. Winston in the 'sophomore slump.' Nary a rushing attack. Defense looks like swiss cheese. But sign me up for the home dogs. Falcons in prime let down spot. Big win over GB last week. They are also off 4 straight close games, and 5 tough ones if you include their win over Carolina before that. This is a step-down in class by the looks of things. Look. TB HC Koetter is now 3-0 vs his old team. Like I said when he rolled on the Bucs in Game 1, they have the inside edge as they also employ old Atlanta HC Mike Smith on the defense. Falcons 1-11 ATS under HC Quinn. That is nuts. Tampa gets their first home win on the year here. 5* Best Bet TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
