This is a 10* NFC SOUTH TOW on the OVER Falcons/Bucs.

Neither team has been involved in many high-scoring affairs this season, but I say those trends end on Sunday afternoon on what I anticipate will be a much more wide-open contest than what this O/U line is suggesting.

Tampa Bay has now seen the total go UNDER in three straight after its 20-6 loss to the Lions last time out. Note though that Detroit has seen the total go OVER the number in six of its last eight after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

ATL has seen the total go UNDER in four straight now after its 24-16 home loss to Washington as a 1-point favorite. That's plenty of UNDERS from both sides as I mentioned off the top, but that fact has for sure only helped in driving this particular total this Sunday afternoon, a few points lower than it normally would/should be.

All the offensive and defensive numbers to this point from each team would indicate a lower-scoring game, but the overall situation, combined with the above listed ATS O/U trends do indeed make the OVER the correct call in my opinion.

Good luck, NP
