Buccaneers vs Falcons Final NFL Betting Analysis

Atlanta upset Carolina because Panthers’ quarterback Kyle Allen threw 4 interceptions. Because of that, some might believe the Falcons’ victory over Carolina was a mirage. But, Atlanta beat New Orleans the week before.

Also, the Falcons face a quarterback in Week 12 who’s even more carless than Allen. Jameis Winston has thrown 18 interceptions. He’s having the worst season of his career and he’s played in the NFL since 2015. Winston won’t allow Tampa Bay to have success on Nov. 24. Back the Falcons to win and cover.
