Our picks, best bets

Pick against the spread: Falcons -4

Atlanta is favored in this game because Tampa Bay hasn't been playing well and is expected to rest several players. With a win or a loss, the Buccaneers would go into the playoffs with the No. 4 seed, so there isn't any reason to risk injuries. This will be Atlanta's final game of the season, and they are set up well to cover the spread with the assumption of Tampa Bay's resting players.

Over/under: Under 40.5

When these teams played in Week 5, the score ended 21-15 in Tampa Bay's favor. This had Tom Brady throwing for 351 yards. With the starters likely resting for the Bucs and rookie Desmond Ridder in for the Falcons, we should see the under hit.

Player prop: TBD
