Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2) at
Atlanta Falcons (2-0):
Guys, it’s a
lot harder to get these picks done on Thursdays when you work 8-5. I’m not sure
if I’m a fan of the real world. Thankfully, Tampa and Matt Ryan will make this
pick easy on me. The Bucs were billed as being a surprise/bounceback team this
year, thanks in large part to the expected immediate impact of Lovie Smith on
the defense. That has simply not been the case, with Derek Anderson and Austin
Davis (yeah, I don’t know him either) gouging them in successive weeks. Now
they go on the road, not only in an 0-2 hole, but having given up two games
worth of home-field advantage, to face a renewed and somewhat-more-healthy
Atlanta Falcons squad from a year ago. The Falcons laid an egg in Cinci last
week, but the Bengals may have the best defense in the league, so don’t expect
a repeat tonight.
Atlanta Falcons: 34-17
