Bucs at Falcons
(NFL) Buccaneers (TB) vs. Falcons (ATL),
Total: 43.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Win
This "total" has been creeping upwards slightly this week, and the 43.5s were hard to find around Las Vegas as of Thursday night (mostly 44s around town). But we understand any move upwards because this has the feel of a game that could feature plenty of points, such as the second meeting between these two last season that ended up 29-25 in favor of the Bucs. It figured that Atlanta's strike force might need a few weeks to get in gear with new QB Kirk Cousins sitting out August and working some of the kinks out of the offense in the first couple of weeks of the season. Now Cousins is feeling very comfy again and led a last-second advance into Saints territory for the winning field goal (58 yards!) at the gun to pip the Saints. Atlanta's defense has also been a bit up and down, however, and Baker Mayfield looked as good as he ever has last week for the Bucs, passing for 347 yards and a pair of TDs in a 33-16 romp past the Eagles.
