The Falcons are 6-1, despite some bad offensive performances in the past two weeks: a 10-7 win over the struggling Titans, and a 31-21 loss to the Saints.
Atlanta may have the recipe its offense needs in Week 8 when it takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs’ defense is dead-last in the NFL in points allowed at 29.8 per contest.
The Falcons enter the tilt as fairly formidable touchdown favorites. Here’s what you need to know about this Week 8 game at the Georgia Dome:
