NFL Free Pick: Take Tampa Bay. According to latest NFL trends, the Buccaneers are 5-1 against the spread in their last six road games versus Atlanta and 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall versus the Falcons. The road team is also 6-2-1 against the spread in the last nine meetings between these two teams. The Falcons will be without Julio Jones (season-ending I.R.) and will likely be without Roddy White (ankle/hamstring) and Steven Jackson (hamstring) offensively, as well as Sean Weatherspoon (foot) and Kroy Biermann (Achilles) on defense. The Falcons normally struggle with the Bucs when they’re fully healthy – how are they going to cover a 7-point spread with just Matt Ryan, Tony Gonzalez and one of the worst offensive lines in football? Tampa Bay’s defense will keep the Bucs in this game throughout.
