The Bucs Will Win If...
They can grind it out on the ground. This is another game in which the best defense is a good offense. The Bucs will want to limit the Falcons' possessions and scoring chances, and the best way to do that is to control the ball and the clock. The Bucs have the personnel to do that, especially against the Falcons, whose rush defense is ordinary. If the Bucs can run for more than 100 yards today, they should win rather easily.

The Falcons Will Win If...
They can win the turnover battle. The Falcons have a young and mostly inexperienced secondary, but they have a knack for getting their hands on the ball. That's the first step in creating a takeaway, so the Bucs have to be careful here. If the Falcons have one of those days where they force a fumble or two and turn a pass breakup into an interception, they could get back into the hunt for the NFC South title.
