Tampa Bay comes off a bye week with a sizzling offense, second in the NFL in yards per game, tops in passing (363.3 yards in the air per contest), and sixth in points (28 points per game). The team is healthy, as when practice started this week every player on the 53-man roster participated in a two-hour workout in some capacity. Two players who were held out of the Chicago game were also back in defensive tackle Beau Allen and safety Jordan Whitehead. The Buccaneers are 9-3 ATS when following a bye week, plus 11-5 ATS after scoring fewer than 15 points in their previous game. They've had two weeks to prepare after a blowout loss at Chicago and run into an Atlanta squad in disarray. The Falcons are riding a three-game skid allowing 43, 37 and 41 points. The Atlanta defense is #28 in yards allowed, #25 against the run, and #31 in points surrendered (32.6 pg). The Falcons are on a 1-5 ATS skid and the visitors match up well. Play Tampa Bay.
