The Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to face each other again in Week 15 of the NFL season. The game will be held at Raymond James Stadium as part of “Thursday Night Football” on Prime Video.
Earlier in the season, the Falcons lost to the Buccaneers 23-20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Both teams enter this matchup following home losses; Atlanta was defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, while Tampa Bay fell to the New Orleans Saints.
The teams have had similar trajectories during the season. The Falcons started with a 3-2 record but have only managed one win in their last eight games, bringing them to 4-9. The Buccaneers began with a stronger 6-2 record but have since gone 1-4, making their current record 7-6.
Playoff implications are higher for Tampa Bay in this contest. The Buccaneers are aiming to maintain their lead in the NFC South and currently hold a slight advantage over the Carolina Panthers, despite both teams having identical records. The Falcons, sitting third in the division, have already been eliminated from playoff contention. The New Orleans Saints are fourth and also out of postseason consideration.
NFL experts have shared their predictions for this matchup between Atlanta and Tampa Bay. More detailed picks and analysis can be found on ESPN, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, The Athletic and NFL Network.
