Falcons vs. Buccaneers best bet

Here's an excerpt from our Falcons vs. Buccaneers prediction on why NFL expert Gary Pearson is betting Buccaneers -4 as his Thursday Night Football best bet:

"Atlanta's ground game is its most formidable asset, ranking eighth in DVOA. While Bijan Robinson can make people miss and explode on any given Sunday, Tampa boasts the ninth-best defensive run DVOA. That unit held Robinson to just 24 rushing yards on 12 carries in Week 1, a key factor in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win. It also prevented four of the previous six opponents from breaking the 100-yard threshold. If things don't go well on the ground, I have no faith that Kirk Cousins will pick up the slack."

We dive further into the Buccaneers' injury situation with our Mike Evans injury update, which breaks down what to expect from the Buccaneers star receiver tonight on TNF. 

We also dive further into the Falcons' injury situation with our Drake London injury update, which explains his current injury situation heading into Thursday Night Football.

Falcons vs. Buccaneers player prop bets

Here's an excerpt from our Falcons vs. Buccaneers player props on why NFL expert Dustin Saracini is betting Baker Mayfield Over 217.5 receiving yards as one of his best Thursday Night Football player prop bets:

"Nobody has fallen back to Earth harder than Baker Mayfield, who was once an MVP candidate and has now failed to throw for over 200 yards in four straight weeks. The Buccaneers may be the most fraudulent team in football, but lucky for them, they're going up against the Falcons, a team that seemingly can't do anything right at the moment."

Saracini also dives further into the Buccaneers' passing game with his best Baker Mayfield player props, and he breaks down the other side with his Bijan Robinson player props for the Falcons' star running back.

Falcons vs. Buccaneers anytime touchdown scorer picks

Here's an excerpt from our Falcons vs. Buccaneers anytime touchdown scorer predictions on why NFL expert Esten McLaren is betting Bucky Irving to score a touchdown as one of his best Thursday Night Football anytime touchdown scorer picks:

"I'm not looking to get cute with this first anytime touchdown scorer prediction for TNF. Bucky Irving has scored in three straight games dating back to late September, with two of those coming through the air. He also scored a receiving touchdown against the Falcons in Week 1 while totaling a modest 45 yards from scrimmage on 18 touches. That's his season-low yardage total."

Falcons vs. Buccaneers first touchdown scorer picks

Here's an excerpt from our Falcons vs. Buccaneers first touchdown scorer predictions on why NFL expert Corey Scott is betting Tyler Allgeier to score the first touchdown as one of his best Thursday Night Football first touchdown scorer picks:

"The Falcons running back has scored an anytime touchdown in seven of his 13 games this season, has delivered the team’s first touchdown in five of those matchups, and has hit as the game’s first touchdown scorer twice. While it’s unlikely the Falcons strike first tonight, if they do, Allgeier has a strong chance to cash this bet."

Our NFL expert C Jackson Cowart expects the conditions tonight to be favorable for scoring in his Falcons vs. Buccaneers weather report. He also broke down why a different running back could steal the spotlight tonight in his Falcons vs. Buccaneers AI predictions for Thursday Night Football.

Falcons vs. Buccaneers same-game parlay

Here's an excerpt from our Falcons vs. Buccaneers same-game parlay on why NFL expert Brenden Schaeffer is betting Bijan Robinson Over 39.5 receiving yards as the strongest leg of his Thursday Night Football SGP bet:

"The Buccaneers allow more receiving yardage production to running backs than any other team in the league. Tampa has surrendered 701 receiving yards to opposing RBs across 13 games. Bijan Robinson ranks second in the league among running backs with 602 receiving yards on the season. Robinson has logged 39-plus receiving yards in seven of 13 games this year."
