Lines are set for Tampa Bay’s next matchup.
Tampa Bay is coming off of a 33-16 win at home over the Philadelphia Eagles and oddsmakers have set the opening lines for the Bucs Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
According to FanDuel, Tampa Bay is a 2.5-point underdog in Atlanta.
Point spread: Bucs +2.5
Point total: 43.5
Moneyline: Bucs -105, Falcons -115
The Bucs jumped out early against the Eagles in Week 4 and never looked back. Tampa Bay’s offense finally saw the connection of Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans again while the defense was able to put consistent pressure Philly quarterback Jalen Hurts. Both sides of the ball were consistently better than the week prior and the same kind of play will be needed against an Atlanta team that is playing hard-nosed football with a veteran quarterback leading them along the way in Kirk Cousins.
Both are coming off impressive wins in their own rights in Week 4.
We’ll see how the matchup plays out when the Bucs and Falcons square off Thursday night at 8:15 PM ET.
