Buccaneers vs. Falcons Prediction, Odds, Against Spread and Over/Under for NFL Week 13

NFC East rivals the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons square off in Week 13 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 

After a few bumps in the road, the Buccaneers are now winners of their last two games and are now 8-3 on the season. The win wasn’t without its fair share of drama as the Bucs narrowly beat the Indianapolis Colts 38-31 thanks to a heroic performance by Leonard Fournette.

The Bucs feature back had 131 all-purpose yards and scored a career-high four touchdowns. The defense shined in terms of turnovers, forcing five, but still allowed Carson Wentz to throw for 306 yards and three touchdowns. Tom Brady had a bit of a down game with 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception. 

Meanwhile, the Falcons improved t 5-6 last week with a much-needed win over the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-14. The Jags aren’t the most challenging of opponents but the Falcons needed the soft game after losing to the Cowboys and Patriots by a combined score of 68 to 3 in their previous two matchups.

Buccaneers vs. Falcons Prediction and Pick

These two teams have already faced off this year with the Bucs crushing the Falcons 48-25 in Week 2 at home. Tom Brady had five touchdown passes while Matt Ryan had three interceptions. It was the Bucs' third win in a row against the Falcons and this week is shaping up to be number four. Tom Brady has never lost a game to the Falcons in eight games. Seven of those were in the regular season with the eighth coming in as the worst meltdown in Super Bowl history. 

So, the big question here is whether or not the Falcon has adjuted after Week 2 and have a shot at revenge here. I’m thinking not. The Buccaneers look much stronger than they did in that Week 2 victory. Fournette is hot and Rob Gronkowski is coming off one of his best games of the year with seven catches for 123 yards. The defense is still a bit shaky but they are still punishing quarterbacks for making mistakes.

The Falcons are still in the playoff hun as the No. 7 seed in the NFC but I think that is a close as they get this year. Take the Bucs to win and cover for the second time this season against their division rivals. 

Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -10.5 (-110)
