Week 12 NFL Picks, Predictions & Matchups: Tampa Bay vs. Atlanta

This Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Atlanta to face the Falcons in a division battle.

NFL football betting odds have the Falcons favored by 11.5 points.

The Falcons will try and get Michael Turner back in the lineup for this one after he missed last week with a high ankle sprain. Although Jason Snelling was serviceable in his absence, rushing for 60 yards and two touchdowns, the team is clearly better with Turner on the field.

Tampa Bay is just now getting used to Josh Freeman under center. In his first career start he led a comeback against the Green Bay Packers for the team's first win of the year, but has since fallen back to earth.

At 5-5, the Falcons are still in the playoff hunt as a wild card, but several teams ahead of them play each other this weekend.

The Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings with the Falcons.
