The Falcons have beat the buccaneers in 8 of their last 10 meetings, and both teams lie on the second half of the NFC SOUTH but the gap between them is a lot closer now after the Buccaneers recorded their first win of the year.
Missing players Atlanta Falcons
Julio Jones their exceptional wide receiver is out with a foot injury and might do without him for the rest of the season another wide receiver, Roddy white has dealt with hamstring injuries from the start of the season might make his come back on Sunday.
On the other hand they have no exceptional players with fatalities on their first team and will use this to their advantage.
Team News Atlanta falcons
Mike Smith has lost his last three games as Falcons head coach and will be looking to change that trend by traveling to Tampa Bay. He will be without the injured Steven Jackson, Harry Douglas, Roddy white, Tony Gonzalez and Jason Snelling although there are plenty of replacements as he has hinted to the media.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs welcome the Falcons on the back of a 22-19 win over the Miami Dolphins and confidence is expected to be high. Head coach Greg Schiano will likely name a strong team for the meeting with no injury scare. Their defense has been exceptional particularly the line which did not give the Dolphins an inch where running the football was concerned.
Prediction
The Bucs host the Falcons for the 11th time in their NFC south rivalry series on Sunday. Although the Atlanta Falcons are going through one of their worst seasons they have enough veterans to salvage the team’s pride. The Bucs head into the meeting with a win on their conscious after Monday’s win which was so far their best game of the year.
Prediction: Buccaneers 17 Falcons 21
Bottom Line
Generally this proves to be one of the best and toughest clashes in the NFL between two rival team seeking redemption and pride restoration.
