The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Georgia to square off against the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 18 NFL matchup.

The Buccaneers wrapped up the NFC South by beating the Carolina Panthers in Week 17, while the Falcons defeated the Arizona Cardinals in their weekend matchup. 

Here's everything you need from a betting perspective on the Buccaneers-Falcons game, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet):

Why Aaron Rodgers could be a fit with Titans next season

Aaron Rodgers is set to take on the Detroit Lions in Week 18 for the final NFC playoff spot. However, he once again, said that his future is uncertain after this season. Colin Cowherd makes a case for the Green Bay Packers QB to play in Nashville for the Tennessee Titans next season.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz:

The Bucs won the NFC South with a victory over the Panthers last weekend and are locked into the 4-seed for the playoffs. Teams in the Bucs' situation have routinely sat their starters to prepare for the following weekend of playoff action. However, nothing about Tom Brady is routine. 

Tom Brady has always played in the preseason when other starters sat. Brady has always played in situations where Week 18 doesn’t matter. He loves playing football. He also knows his squad played their best football of the season in the fourth quarter against Carolina in Week 17. Another excellent half of football going into Wild Card weekend provides great momentum. 

I think the Bucs will play their starters for at least a half, so I'm taking them to cover the first half.

PICK: Bucs +2.5 1st half at FOX Bet
