Thursday Night Football in Week 15 brings an NFC South clash as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6) host the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) at Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay, stung by last week’s loss to New Orleans, looks to keep its division lead alive behind Baker Mayfield and a potent offense. Atlanta, meanwhile, has dropped seven of its last eight and will start Kirk Cousins with rookie Michael Penix Jr. out for the season. Pride and draft positioning are all that remain for the home team on a short week under the prime-time lights. Kickoff is set for December 11 at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
Buccaneers vs Falcons Same Game Parlays
Here are a couple of same-game parlays for the game between the Buccaneers vs Falcons as per FanDuel.
Same Game Parlay 1
Baker Mayfield 225+ passing yards (+100) + Kirk Cousins 225+ yards (+140) + Kyle Pitts 60+ receiving yards (-114)
Parlay Payout: Wager $100 to win $475.29
Times are turning to be desperate for the Buccaneers. While they lead the NFC South, they could lose their positioning immediately if they aren’t careful. They will need to win this game to stay ahead or risk dropping to second place, which makes us believe that Baker Mayfield will go beyond 225+ yards.
While the Falcons have nothing to lose at this point, they do have a chance to potentially spoil Buccaneers’ positioning, which could mean something since they are divisional rivals. Cousins has three 30+ pass attempts in 6 games this season and looking at Tampa’s horrible passing defense that has cost them games this season, Cousins can very well cross 225+ yards.
While Kyle Pitts only has four games over 60+ yards this season, but in the last two games he’s posted 82 yards against the Jets and 90 yards against the Seahawks last week, with an uptick in targets. The Buccaneers are one of the worst pass defense teams in the NFL, making this an easy bet.

Same Game Parlay 2
Bucky Irving 20+ receiving yards (-128) + Kyle Pitts 7+ receptions made (+148) + Bijan Robinson 6+ receptions (+140)
Parlay Payout: Wager $100 to win $812.57
Bucky Irving has only played in 6 games this season due to injuries, and in 5 of those games, he’s had 20 or more receiving yards with 102 yards against Philadelphia earlier this season. Irving, who is a running back, has posted better numbers receiving this season than rushing. We expect Mayfield to go insane in this game, and pass targets most likely to go towards Irving, making this a safe bet.
Kyle Pitts has four games this season with 7 or more receptions. He has been a reliable target this season with 72.9% of his catches made. Looking at the Buccaneers’ weak pass defense, expect Atlanta to switch to a pass heavy approach, with their backup QB Kirk Cousins to find his his tight end, making this a great bet.
Bijan Robinson has six games this season with over 6 or more targets and has been a very reliable pass catcher, alongside his rushing game. While primarily a RB, Robinson’s dual-threat role in this offense and Buccaneers’ 27th ranked pass defense, we expect Falcons to use a pass heavy approach, likely involving him to pass catches alongside his running game, making this a great bet.
Buccaneers vs Falcons Best Player Props
Here are some of the best player props for the Buccaneers vs Falcons game, as per FanDuel.
- Bijan Robinson anytime TD scorer: -150
- Bucky Irving anytime TD scorer: +120
- Mike Evans anytime TD scorer: +165
Bijan Robinson’s dual-threat ability with his rushing ability and running after catching a pass, makes him a huge threat to score at any given moment. With 5 rushing TDs and 2 receiving. While the Buccaneers have a great rushing defense ranked 10th, their passing defense lacks behind, and with Robinson’s ability to make plays after catching a pass, this is a great bet.
The Falcons are one of the worst rushing defense teams this season, allowing 138.5 rushing yards per game, 19th on scoring defense, and 20th in red zone defense. Looking at this, Irving’s dual-threat ability to run or rush with the football makes him a threat to score at any moment, given that he’s scored a rushing TD and 3 receiving TDs in just six games this season.
Mike Evans has missed on the majority of games this season and has only played 4 times so far. With him back in the lineup as the one of Mayfield’s reliable targets, he’s a threat to score. He scored in the last game he played against the Jets, and with a struggling scoring defense from the Falcons, this is a great bet.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
