Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Start Time, TV Channel, Live Stream and More
By Brad Rowland
The Atlanta Falcons are (technically) alive in the race for the NFC South, and that is the battle cry as the face off with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road this Sunday. In our full preview from Thursday morning, we broke down this match-up on a more in-depth basis, but the task is simple. The Falcons are the better team in this game (something that can’t be said often recently), and as such, anything short of a runaway win here would be a disappointment for a team that struggling to gain any sort of credible footing.
While the line could certainly move before kick-off, the leading odds-makers (both in Vegas and off-shore) have the Falcons as anywhere between a 3.5 and 3-point favorite in this game, and that number is on the high side given that it began as a “pick’em” in some locales. It is slightly jarring to this version of Atlanta as a road favorite against anyone in the NFL, but with the earlier result against Tampa Bay in the Georgia Dome, it makes some additional sense, even with the Falcons potentially entering Sunday short-handed.
