Tom Brady will play vs. Falcons despite Bucs being locked into 4-seed in NFC

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are locked in to the fourth seed in the NFC playoffs but according to head coach Todd Bowles they will still play all their starters on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe decide if playing their starters is a smart move for the playoff bound Buccaneers.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz:

History will tell you that this is not a spot to take the favorite in the final week of the season.

A team with nothing to play for, Arizona, has covered 65% of games against a team that needs to win, San Francisco. However, Arizona is starting a third–string quarterback and will be without Deandre Hopkins. On the other side, the Niners are coming off their worst defensive game of the season.

San Francisco’s defense will bounce back against this poor AZ offense. The 49ers are still playing for the top-2 seed, and their effort this weekend will show that.

I’m rolling with the Niners to cover the full game.

PICK: Niners (-14 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 14 points
