Week 9 could have a few surprises in store…
Buccaneers (5-2) vs Falcons (5-2)
One of the most interesting match ups for punters is the NFC South clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams are sporting a 5-2 win/loss record, however Atlanta has a clear advantage when comparing offensive and defensive statistics. Based on the stats alone, I would be be putting my money on the Falcons, however Tampa Bay are actually big underdogs, and are currently paying 4.80 on Betfair.
Given this value, and the Buccaneers ability to hang in and win close games, I am going to back Tampa Bay for a close win.
Two other good value picks for this round are the Indianapolis Colts (who are underdogs in their match against the Eagles) and the San Diego Chargers who have everything it takes to win if they can just stay focused for 60 miutes.
