It’s the battle for who sucks less in the worst division in football! Who’s excited? No one. Had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons lived up to expectations, this could have been a good game. But they didn't, so it’s not. Here are five bold predictions for this NFC South snore-fest.

Gerald McCoy is a beast. If you haven't seen his first sack on Brian Hoyer last week, stop reading this and go find it because it’s amazing. McCoy will not only record another two-sack game, but his second sack will be a strip sack that will be returned for a touchdown. Yeah, hows that for bold?

Mike Glennon, while starting on the bench, shouldn’t get too fond of sitting down. Josh McCown might be starting the game, but after a first half that would make Geno Smith cringe, Glennon will return out of the half to control the steering wheel of this sinking boat.

If you have Matt Ryan on your fantasy team, I'd recommend starting him. Last time Falcons played the Bucs, Ryan threw for 286 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. This weekend I expect his numbers to increase even more since the Bucs' defense is even worse than it was then.

Last week rookie Mike Evans finally did something and it was a big something. Two touchdown catches and mocking his former quarterback sitting on the sideline is a big something. Against an equally bad Falcons’ secondary, Evans is poised for another breakout game.

Last time these two teams met, Hester returned a punt for a touchdown and the sculptors at Canton started working on his bust. Hester’s got one more touchdown return in him and he’s been saving it for ex-coach Lovie Smith. Maybe Smith should call up Mike Tomlinson and invite him to patrol the sidelines just in case.
