Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preview
The battle for the NFC South is expected to be between the Falcons and Buccaneers this season, and while this game will be far from decisive, both would love the opportunity to get the early tiebreaker edge.
Atlanta won both games last season, although they did need Kirk Cousins to throw for over 500 yards in one game and post a near perfect 23/29 for 276 and four touchdowns in the other one.
Im expecting Tampa to play much cleaner than they did in both of those games and come out ready to throw the ball all over the field.
It should be a big day for Baker Mayfield and Ill back him to lead the Bucs to a season opening victory.
