NFL Betting Preview – Bucs To Send Falcons Reeling<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s absolutely nothing going right in Tampa Bay right now, but after they fired their two coordinators and promoted a positions coach to head coach, jettisoned the aging defensive stalwarts that defined their team and gave the role of quarterback to three guys with zero proven track record (Leftwich, Johnson, Freeman), there really wasn\u2019t much hope for them. <\/p>\n

Even as a betting upstart, they\u2019re peddling a weak 3-7 ATS record right now. So what\u2019s the deal with the support over Atlanta? Tampa has nothing to lose in this game, and Atlanta stands to lose their shot at a wildcard spot after spiraling out of control with a 1-4 SU record in their past five games.<\/p>\n

I usually love a sneaky team like the Bucs when they\u2019re getting double-digit points on the road against an overhyped team. And as I\u2019ve been stating for weeks, Matt Ryan and the Falcons are O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. Despite a strong 5-2 ATS record in their last 7 games, the Falcons have been getting crushed in the win column. Combine that with a 2-7 ATS record in their last 9 hostings of Tampa, along with a 3-6 SU record against the Bucs, and I wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable backing the Dirty Birds in this one.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying that Matt Ryan is garbage, I\u2019m just saying that he doesn\u2019t have the maturity or polish at the NFL level to be great. A landslide pick as last season\u2019s rookie of the year, Ryan had to deal with mounting pressure coming in to his sophomore year. Well, he hasn\u2019t exactly won the people over, and his betting backers are jumping ship quickly. [soliloquy id=”82219″]For the few remaining, they\u2019ll get yet another reason to when they lose another sports betting matchup against Tampa.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-9) vs. Atlanta Falcons (5-5)<\/p>\n

Sunday, November 29th
\nGeorgia Dome, Atlanta — 1:00pm EST
\nNFL Betting Line: Atlanta -12 (46.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tampa is coming off a complete demolishing at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, but you can\u2019t fault the Bucs for that. New Orleans is one of the top-3 teams in the league right now and Tampa is barely treading water. Yet, you have to be somewhat optimistic about Josh Freeman despite a three interception game last week. At times he shows flashes of being a solid player in the NFL, and he\u2019ll have his shots against a weak Atlanta defense which gives up 231.3 yards through the air on average (22nd in the league).<\/p>\n

Tampa\u2019s biggest weakness is their bottom feeding rush defense, but Atlanta is down to its third-string back. I know Justin Snelling is doing well lately, but he had to be on the practice roster for a reason. Simply put, Tampa Bay has owned this matchup, and will cover the spread for the fourth straight time. This line is mind-boggling high.<\/p>\n
