The NFC South will be in the spotlight this Thursday night to kickoff Week 9 of the NFL regular season. The 5-3 Atlanta Falcons head into Raymond James Stadium looking to expand their lead over the 3-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are tied with New Orleans for second place in the division. The Falcons come in as three-point road favorites and the betting line at BetAnySports for the total in this game has been set at 51.5 points.
Right off the bat you would have to think that this division tilt will go OVER the total line with Atlanta sitting at the top of the list in scoring in the NFL with an average of 32.8 points a game while fielding a defense that is near the bottom of the league in points allowed (28.9). Add in the fact that Tampa Bay has had its issues on defense as well with a points-allowed average of 27 points a game and the scoreboard should be lit up like an early holiday Christmas tree all night long.
I am banking on the revenge factor also kicking in after the Bucs opened the season with a 31-24 upset over Atlanta as 2.5-point road underdogs back in Week 1.
