Another week, another win for the rolling Falcons, who knocked off another powerhouse team and improved to 19-1 at home with Matt Ryan as quarterback last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Everything about last week\u2019s win over Green Bay looked like a signature Atlanta performance. The Falcons bent plenty on defense, surrendering 341 passing yards, but didn\u2019t break, holding the Pack to 17 points; they ran the ball with authority, as Michael Turner tallied 110 yards and a score; Matt Ryan was efficient in somewhat of a game manager role, going 24 of 28 for 197 yards and a touchdown; and they relied on crucial takeaways, recovering an Aaron Rodgers fumble on the goal line to turn what looked like a sure Packer touchdown into zero points.<\/p>\n

Even on the road this week, we should expect a very similar effort from Atlanta. The Bucs\u2019 pass defense is vastly improved and specializes in interceptions but they\u2019re still suspect against the run, so Michael Turner should get 25 to 30 carries. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bucs didn\u2019t win last week but they can hold their heads high. They weren\u2019t expected to win at Baltimore but they stayed close and actually beat the spread at virtually every book, losing 17-10. Last week did expose a bit of vulnerability in the Bucs, however. Trailing by a pair of scores for much of the game, Tampa was forced to pass and Baltimore knew it.<\/p>\n

As a result, Josh Freeman wasn\u2019t as effective as normal. He threw a TD pass but went just 17 of 37 for 162 yards. He\u2019s had a fantastic season but still hasn\u2019t reached the level of an elite quarterback who can gunsling and toss up a 300-yard effort when his team is trailing, as Aaron Rodgers did for the Pack last week. LeGarrette Blount also wasn\u2019t as explosive in the backfield last week, probably because he only got 13 carries and couldn\u2019t find a rhythm.<\/p>\n

The pick: <\/strong><\/p>\n

This game should come down to who seizes the driver\u2019s seat first. The Falcons and Bucs deploy a very similar strategy: get up early, run the ball, force the opponent to pass, try to ballhawk. Atlanta and Tampa are 20th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup> in the NFL in total defense, respectively, but they\u2019re fourth and second in picks. The team that gets on top early will likely pound the ball on the ground and try to avoid turnovers.<\/p>\n

I like Atlanta to win in what could be a carbon copy of last week\u2019s effort. Michael Turner should batter the Bucs\u2019 27th<\/sup>-ranked run defense and we saw last week that Freeman isn\u2019t always effective when teams know he has to pass. The slightly more experienced, slightly more talented Falcons should prevail \u2013 but it won\u2019t be easy. Tampa is legit.<\/p>\n
