The Falcons defeated the Bucs earlier this season by a score of 34-29. Atlanta has now won three consecutive meetings over the Buccaneers and will have the chance to make it two season sweeps in a row with a win. Tampa Bay will only be playing for pride in this final week as their season have completely fallen off the rails.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have had a disappointing season, especially with all the talent they have on their roster. While it is true that some of their biggest issues this season have come from injuries, their offense has also not played up to their potential many times this year.
Despite their struggles, it is crazy to think the Falcons still have one of the top offenses this year. They average 382.5 total yards per game, which ranks 3rd in the league. Breaking this now further, their passing offense ranks 5th in the league with an average of 284.9 passing yards per game. On the other hand, their rushing offense is one of the worst. They average only 97.6 yards per game this season, which puts them at 27th. In terms of points per game, they average 25.3 per game, which is 11th, but there have been plenty of games where the offense was shut down completely. If the Falcons are going to finish on a three game win streak, they will need to have similar offensive production that they have had the past two weeks.

The Falcons has played much better the past two weeks, but the damage has already been done in terms of stats. Even with two good performances in a row, they still rank near the bottom of the league in just about every category. They should however be able to finish the season strong, going up against Jameis Winston, who has had a ton of struggles this year.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs continue to struggle having now lost three games in a row. They cannot seem to get consistent quarterback play, as Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston have each started several games this season.
Despite having one of the worst records, the Bucs have the third best offense in terms of total yards. They are basically a pass first team an average 318.9 passing yards per game, which is first in the league. The Bucs will likely have some success against Atlanta through the air, but it will not be enough to keep them in the game.

Like the Falcons, the Buccaneers defense has been poor pretty much all year long. One difference is that they have not recently had a good defensive performance. They likely will not have an answer for the amount of weapons the Falcons have and will get burnt again.
