Tampa Bay enters Sunday’s game with a surprising 5-2 record and the Bucs have covered in four of those seven games. They’re also a perfect 3-0 on the road this season and covered in all three of those games.
The Falcons are also 5-2 and have also covered in four of their first seven games. They’re a perfect 3-0 at the Georgia Dome this season and covered in two of those three games.
Our Week 9 Free Pick:
Both of these teams will want to flex their muscles by keeping the ball on the ground and trying to win the battle in the trenches. That’s why we think it’ll be a lower scoring game than people think, even though the Falcons have put on some points at home this year. The under is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these two teams and seeing as how we should get a steady diet of Michael Turner and LeGarrette Blount this week, the total should fall under again this year. Our free pick for this game is the under, although a small play on the Bucs would also be wise. Tampa is 5-1 against the spread in its last six meetings with the Falcons, and 8-2 ATS in its last 10 meetings in Atlanta.
