Vegas has the Falcons as a 4.5 point favorite over the Bucs. Is Vegas thinking that the Bucs are going to rest starters?

If the Bucs don't rest their starters completely, they'll definitely rest them for the 2nd half.  As has been mentioned, there is no reason to put Brady back there if you are resting your two starting tackles.  He'll just have to throw the ball into the ground, and that isn't helping the offense to build momentum for the playoffs.

Obviously. But we need to go full pedal. Go in hot on a 3 game win streak. If this team takes the foot off the gas and I don't think they can turn it back on. Especially vs a very good Dallas team. Dallas hasn't lost in regulation since October.

Yea this is really a 13-4 team that treated 95% of the season like pre-season

You can't make the game matter.  If you put the starters in, they still aren't going to play like the game matters because it doesn't.  You aren't going to keep any momentum going.  It's a meaningless game, and you are putting players at risk to be injured for the game that does matter the next week.   They should activate the entire practice squad if possible.  I'm looking for 100 yards for Vaughn.

If the Bucs are not going to play their starters, they should start Trask to give him some regular game time experience.
