Falcons vs. Buccaneers Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Buccaneers were in a good position five weeks ago, but they have well and truly hit the wall. However, they should get back to their best against the Falcons, who have struggled on equal terms as Tampa Bay.
They have only two wins between them over the last five weeks, but the Buccaneers have Baker Mayfield, and he can produce the goods at any given time. He has 20 touchdowns and six interceptions, so he’s not the reason why they’re struggling.
There is still hope for them to make the playoffs, so they should win, and covering the –4.5 spread shouldn’t be too difficult. The Falcons have already gone into 2026 mode, and they’ll be looking to preserve their players for next season.

Same Game Multi
Bucky Irving is a player worth following over the next month. He has a touchdown in three consecutive games, so we’re surprised by the $2.45 odds available for the Buccaneer to score a touch.
We also like Baker Mayfield to throw for over 219.5 passing yards. He could have a big game through the air, and Atlanta’s passing defence hasn’t been good. They allowed Seattle to score 37 points last week, so Mayfield should have a field day.
They combined for 43 points when meeting in September, and we expect Tampa Bay to put up more points. Therefore, over 44.5 points is worth including in NFL same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet
We’re doubling down on Irving, who could get the game started off on the right note for the home side.
He scored touchdowns against the Saints, Cardinals, and Rams, and he will get better opportunities to score against a struggling Falcons outfit.
He’s the second favourite to score first behind Bijan Robinson, so punters should snap up the value odds.
