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.Kirk Cousins's 65.6% Adjusted Completion% this season reflects a meaningful decrease in his passing precision over last season's 68.6% figure.This year, the stout Buccaneers defense has given up a paltry 0.25 passing TDs per game to opposing teams: the lowest rate in the league.
