Falcons vs. Buccaneers prediction
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will host their divison foes on at home, and play a much easier team than the two they've faced over the last two weeks - the Packers and the Chiefs. The Falcons will be without their main offensive weapon in Cordarrelle Patterson, while the Buccaneers could get more receiver help this week.
The Buccaneers will likely end their losing streak while ending Atlanta's winning streak.
Prediction: The Buccaneers win by 5+ points
