Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL Betting Analysis
The Buccaneers head into week 18 looking for another win, as they picked up 6 point victory over the Carolina Panthers (30-24). In addition to winning straight up, the team covered the spread as -3.5 point favorites. The teams combined for a total of 54 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 40. Tampa Bay came back to win the game and cover the -3.5 point spread, despite heading into the 4th quarter trailing 14-10. The Buccaneers outscored Carolina by 10 points in the final quarter. Through 16 games, the Buccaneers have an ATS record of 4-11-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-11. This week's betting total of 40.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Buccaneers prepare to take on Atlanta, they are ranked 24th in points per game at 18.5. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Falcons defense ranked 23rd in points per game. Throughout the game, Tampa Bay should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 2nd ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. Coming into the game, the Buccaneers are averaging just 76.4 yards per game in the rushing attack.
Atlanta Falcons - NFL Betting Analysis
The Falcons head into week 18, looking for another win, as they picked up 1 point victory over the Arizona Cardinals (20-19). In terms of betting, Atlanta did not cover the spread in their win, as they entered as the -6.5 point favorites. The team's combined scoring of 39 points fell below the posted betting line of 40. Atlanta pulled out a comeback victory over the Cardinals, as they entered the 4th quarter trailing by a score of 16-14. Despite the win, Atlanta was not able to cover the spread. Through 16 games, the Falcons have an ATS record of 8-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-10. This week's betting total of 40.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Falcons prepare to take on Tampa Bay, they are ranked 19th in points per game at 20.9. This week, the team is matched up against the league's 9th-ranked defense. For the year, Tampa Bay is allowing 20.5 points per game. Even though Atlanta has a good matchup in the passing game, as the Buccaneers are ranked 18th in passer rating allowed, we don't anticipate the team being able to take advantage. Look for the Falcons to finish the game with a below-average performance in the passing game. On the ground, the Falcons should be in line for a good performance, as they 2nd in rush attempts per game and 3rd in yardage.
