He’s had an offseason to get more reps, but Tampa Bay’s defense will wreak some havoc in this game.”<\/p>\n Bookies.com<\/a>: Bet the Buccaneers to cover vs Falcons<\/p>\n Bill Speros writes: “Atlanta wisely loaded up on defense in the draft, taking Georgia’s Jalon Walker and Tennessee’s James Pearce Jr. in the first round. But it’s too early to expect big dividends from these 2 potential cornerstone players. Is it too early to call this an NFC South elimination game? Nope. Michael Penix Jr. begins his first full season under center for Atlanta and its wannabe high-scoring offense. Tampa returns most of the gang, with Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin leading the charge. Track meet alert.”<\/p>\n The site’s formula predicts that the Buccaneers will win the NFL Week 1 game against the Falcons.<\/p>\n ESPN<\/a>: Buccaneers have a 55.3% chance to beat Falcons on Sunday<\/p>\n The site gives the Falcons a 44.4% shot at winning the NFL Week 1 game, with the remaining percentage accounting for a tie.<\/p>\n Dimers<\/a>: Buccaneers 25, Falcons 23<\/p>\n It writes: “After extensive simulations, our model gives the Buccaneers a win probability of 58%, while the Falcons have a win probability of 42%.”<\/p>\n Fansided<\/a>: Buccaneers 31, Falcons 23<\/p>\n Lou Scataglia writes: “A fun NFC South matchup, the Atlanta Falcons hope that Michael Penix Jr takes a huge step in year two, but this is going to be one of his first NFL starts, so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be able to secure a relatively easy win in this one.”<\/p>\n We occasionally recommend interesting products and services.
