Buccaneers 2017 season preview: Game predictions
By Zain Ahmed
Week 15: vs Atlanta Falcons, 8:30 PM MNF
In the second primetime game of the year for the Bucs, they will host the Atlanta Falcons. This game will be the second matchup between the two. The Falcons had taken the first game by a small margin. This is the second straight year where the Bucs face off against the Falcons on primetime. If the divisional race goes the way many expect it to, this will be a huge game for both teams and a must-see matchup under the lights.
The Bucs will be looking to avenge the first loss, on the national stage. Tampa Bay will have kicked it into a new gear after the Lions game, looking as dominant as they have all season. At 8-5, they will taste the playoffs and they will believe. They will know what is at stake in December and look to take it from here through January.
The Falcons will pose a challenge, as they always do, but the Bucs will prevail. The Bucs defense will step in a big way going for over five sacks and forcing three turnovers. It may not be an up and down the field day for the offense, but they will score enough on the back of a dominant showing by Mike Smith‘s group.
