How relevant are those 2014 victories? Not very, I just wanted to bring that up.
The Falcons are coming off back-to-back-to-back uninspiring performances...and they're still favored by a touchdown and extra point over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That speaks volumes, frankly.
The reason the Buccaneers are getting this treatment has everything to do with A) how they've played, B) their heartbreaking loss to Washington this past Sunday and C) the fact that the Falcons are at home after two straight away games. The Falcons are also 6-1, if that tickles your fancy, and annihilated the Buccaneers in 2014 with an inarguably inferior team.
