Atlanta Falcons minus-6.5 at Tampa Bay Bucaneers: $550 to win $500
Atlanta and Tampa Bay are both among the league's top eight in passing offense, so there's a decent chance this game turns into a shootout pitting Matt Ryan against Jameis Winston. The difference is, Atlanta has a top-10 scoring defense, while Tampa Bay is in the bottom 10.
I have more faith in Atlanta getting an important stop, and Winston is the more likely of the QBs to make a big mistake. That's enough for me to take the Falcons by a touchdown in this one.
Granger (12-9, $12,819), Keefer (16-17-1, $9,611), Brewer (17-17, $8,570), Grimala (8-9, $8,205)
