A throwing game script is indicated by the Falcons being a -3-point underdog in this week's contest.The projections expect the Atlanta Falcons to be the 10th-fastest paced defense in the league (context-neutralized) at the moment, with opposing offenses averaging 27.70 seconds per snap.The Buccaneers defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, leading opposing teams to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the NFL (40.6 per game) this year.This year, the poor Buccaneers defense has given up the 5th-most yards-after-the-catch in the NFL to the opposing side: a monstrous 6.19 YAC.When it comes to safeties in covering pass-catchers, Tampa Bay's unit has been atrocious this year, profiling as the 4th-worst in the league.
