Tampa beat Atlanta on the road in Week 1 and currently leads the division by the smallest of margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Falcons vs. Buccaneers picks for Dec. 11, featuring a +400 prop bet on Sean Tucker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on the NFL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Falcons vs. Buccaneers picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Tucker to score (+450)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Buccaneers have three healthy running backs right now, and all of them are getting touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker is second or third fiddle, depending on the week, but I&#8217;m not concerned about volume. This is a quality-over-quantity thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tucker is the Bucs&#8217; go-to tailback near the goal line. He was the only Tampa RB with a carry inside the 10-yard line last week, and he converted that into a one-yard TD run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From Week 6 onward, Tucker has eight carries inside the 10-yard line. Tampa&#8217;s other two running backs, Rachaad White and Bucky Irving, have combined for six carries inside the 10-yard line in that span.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Think Sean Tucker will score vs. the Falcons? Bet now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have no disillusions about whose backfield this is. Irving is the lead dog, and he can score from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if the Bucs are looking to punch it in from close range, Tucker is the bruiser who should get the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over his past eight games, the 5-foot-10, 210-pound RB has four rushing touchdowns from inside the 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quarterback Baker Mayfield, who&#8217;s nursing an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, is unlikely to want to scramble toward the end zone. He has only one rush attempt inside the 10-yard line this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker is viewed by many as an RB3, but he&#8217;s a fringe RB1 at the goal line. At this price, I&#8217;ll happily buy into that label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta&#8217;s defence ranks 26th in rushing success rate, per RBSDM.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Tucker has four TDs in five games since Tampa&#8217;s bye, with eight red zone touches in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Place your NFL wagers now at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TNF ATS prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buccaneers -4 (-110):<\/strong> Tampa is on a five-game ATS losing streak, and if that&#8217;s enough to make you steer clear of this pick, I get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for those sticking around, here&#8217;s why I&#8217;m backing the Bucs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Atlanta is 1-7 SU (2-5-1 ATS) in its past eight games, so it&#8217;s not like the visiting squad is thriving these days, either.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drake London (knee) was a non-participant in Atlanta&#8217;s practice estimate on Monday. On a short week, the team&#8217;s top wideout is at risk of missing a fourth consecutive game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mike Evans (collarbone) was listed as limited in Monday&#8217;s practice estimate for Tampa Bay. He participated in a limited fashion all of last week and could return for the first time since Week 7.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Though the Bucs didn&#8217;t cover this number in their first matchup of the year vs. the Falcons, they did earn a 23-20 win as 1-point road favourites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Go to full Falcons vs. Buccaneers TNF betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta has been on the move in 10 consecutive weeks, while Tampa Bay is about to play its third consecutive home game. I&#8217;m hoping there&#8217;s some form of a rest advantage working in the Bucs&#8217; favour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucs bottled up Bijan Robinson on the ground in Week 1 (12 carries, 24 yards). If London is out again, they should be able to successfully key on Atlanta&#8217;s top offensive weapon again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Falcons vs. Buccaneers picks made at 3:20 p.m. ET Dec. 9, 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL Week 15 kicks off with an NFC South battle on Thursday Night Football.
