Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs at Falcons

The landscape of the NFC South could be set to change after Sunday’s NFL action. At least, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hope so.

The Bucs are set to play the Atlanta Falcons on the road in a matchup that could seal their fate or extend it, depending on how things go. Should Tampa Bay win, they’ll hold the NFC South crown for the moment on common opponents over Atlanta — lose, and the Falcons will be two games up and will almost certainly take the crown for good with a lead like that and the New Orleans Saints lagging behind.

Experts and pundits gave their picks for the game this week, and the Bucs aren’t heavily favored going into the matchup. See how they see this one going below:

Atlanta won the first meeting 16-13 on Oct. 22, and a victory here would provide cushion in the NFC South race. The Buccaneers have lost their last four road games, and the defense is not creating enough turnovers. The Falcons are 2-0 ATS since turning back to Desmond Ridder as the starter.
