Taking the points in this NFC South showdown: Tampa Bay Bucs +3

The 4-12 Cardinals gave the Falcons all they could handle last week. In fact, Arizona clung to a 19-17 lead until the last two seconds of action, when Younghoe Koo was able to bang home a 21-yard field goal to deliver the narrow win for Atlanta.

In week 18 the Falcons, who rank fourth in the NFC South, are slated as as four-point favorites as hosts to the division-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8). We are backing the Brady Bunch for the cover based on the following system.

This angle is has delivered a long-term return on investment of 24%, and has submitted cover rates south of 50% in only five seasons over the examination period.

Explaining the enduring profitability of this system, we theorize that the physical and mental fortitude required to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat is not easily replenished, particularly when teams in this spot are laying chalk in their own division in their next outing (as, as a result of more frequent meetings necessitated by League scheduling requirements, divisional opposition is more familiar with, and consequently better able to counter offensive and defensive capacities and tendencies).

Happy betting!!
