NFL Betting Odds – Falcons at Buccaneers. The Atlanta Falcons are road favorites in NFL betting odds on Sunday as they visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons are coming off a huge win last week against Green Bay that put them at the top of the NFC standings but now they have to go on the road for a tough divisional game against Tampa Bay. It is really a must-win game for the Bucs but they are three-point underdogs in NFL odds.
Atlanta -3, total 44.5 at the Sbg sportsbook
The Falcons are favored in what should be an excellent game on Sunday. Atlanta won 27-21 at home against Tampa Bay earlier in the season in what was a very competitive game. The Bucs have to do more than just keep it close on Sunday if they want to stay in the playoff picture. Tampa is 7-4 but there are seven other teams in the NFC with at least seven wins. The Bucs are two games behind Atlanta in the NFC South and a game back of New Orleans. With five games left this is simply a must-win game for Tampa Bay. If the Bucs can win this game they have a good shot at the playoffs because their remaining schedule is favorable with two games against Carolina, a game against Seattle and a game against the Saints.
Falcons 4-2 on the Road
The Falcons have lost only twice this season but both losses game on the road. That fact alone gives the Bucs a chance in this game. Atlanta is playing very well though and they are a good favorite.
