Line Movement for Falcons vs. Bucs is Telling

Bookies believe Tampa Bay will cover here as they were encouraging late action on Atlanta despite the Falcons seeing 80 percent of the spread action (at one point this was over 85 percent).  The opinion on this game became obvious Thursday morning as the line came down a half point off the -4 just about everywhere with the “sharp” books leading the way.

Takeaways and Hot Trends

"I think they're playing with more confidence, and you would expect that: They won some big games," Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter said of his team.

But at home the troubles have been telling:  They have lost all but three of their last 19 home games Straight Up while covering the spread in just five.

Atlanta though is 3-16 Against The Spread as a favorite.

The Falcons recent games have come right down to the wire though they are coming off an impressive win against Green Bay last week.

"Our last three weeks, all the games have come right down to the end," coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday. "We had some disappointing finishes where we thought we had a chance to finish and we didn't, then in this game where we did. We're glad we had another opportunity to try to finish ... we've got work to do, but we're pleased we were able to finish it this past one."
