As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get set to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, here are four bold predictions to take to the bank.

After suffering a season sweep to the New Orleans Saints in last week’s 34-17 loss, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look to get back in the win column against the division rival Atlanta Falcons. With a record of 3-7 on the season, the playoffs are out of the picture, but the season is not lost as there is still pride to play for.

Both the Falcons and the Bucs are tied at the bottom of the NFC South, so as the Bucs hope to get out of the basement of the division for the first time in three years, a win on Sunday is of the utmost importance. The Falcons, however, are riding a high as they have won back-to-back games in the division against the Saints and Carolina Panthers.

With the veteran savvy of Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, this will not be an easy win for the Bucs as it looked like it may have been earlier in the season. The Falcons have been playing at the level that all of their talent should be playing at defensively as well, so the Bucs will need to do a much better job of taking care of the football after four turnovers a week ago.

Here are four bold predictions as the Buccaneers and Falcons get set square off on Sunday.\
