The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to build on their dominant 43-13 victory over the Carolina Panthers as they return home for an NFC South showdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8.
Tampa Bay enters Sunday’s matchup at 2-5 after snapping a five-game losing streak. The Buccaneers put together their most complete performance of the season against Carolina and will now look to carry that momentum into another important divisional matchup.
Atlanta, meanwhile, enters the contest at 3-4 following
an impressive 29-20 victory over the previously unbeaten San Francisco 49ers. The Falcons will look to keep their momentum going as both teams try to gain ground in the NFC South standings.
This week, the Bucs Nation staff is once again evenly split, with two members picking Tampa Bay to secure its second consecutive victory and two taking Atlanta to come away with the road win.
Here are this week’s staff predictions:
Mike Kiwak (4-3): Falcons 20, Bucs 17
Gil Arcia (4-3): Falcons 26, Bucs 17
Evan Wanish (4-3): Bucs 23, Falcons 20
Will Walsh (3-4): Bucs 26, Falcons 25
