This week's spread suggests a running game script for the Falcons, who are favored by 3 points.The Atlanta Falcons have run the 3rd-fewest plays in the league this year, averaging just 50.2 plays per game.When it comes to pass-blocking (and the importance it has on all passing attack stats), the offensive line of the Falcons ranks as the 5th-worst in football this year.This year, the fierce Buccaneers defense has yielded a feeble 61.8% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing wide receivers: the 9th-smallest rate in the NFL.When it comes to cornerbacks in covering pass-catchers, Tampa Bay's group of CBs has been one of the most skilled this year, grading out as the best in the NFL.
