Buccaneers vs. Falcons: NFL Week 18 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)

Last week, I acknowledged adding the Giants at -3 and the Bears/Lions Over 48.5 for Week 17. The Giants are now sitting at -6 for Week 17, while the Bears and Lions’ total has reached 52. I also argued for the Titans at +5. I don’t want to talk about that one… At least I got two of three bets in the right direction.

Here are a few potential EV plays for Week 18 before Week 17 begins. And here’s a closer look at Buccaneers vs. Falcons.

NFL Week 18 Early Picks & Predictions (2022)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. The offense has looked completely lost and should stay that way against an underrated Panthers defense. But if Tampa Bay can stifle the Panthers’ run game and keep the Panthers to a low score, Week 18’s game against the Falcons will have a lower total.

Atlanta is facing the Arizona Cardinals this weekend. That game should also be low scoring. Therefore, we’ll likely see a lower total in this Buccaneers/Falcons game once Week 18 comes around.

Take the Under 40 in a game between a young, inexperienced quarterback in Desmond Ridder and an aging quarterback in Tom Brady, who has been getting no protection lately.

Bet: Under 40 (-110)
