The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football tonight as Week 3 of the NFL regular season kicks off.

The game will start at 8.25 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the CBS Network or the NFL Network, or online through live stream (details below).
The Buccaneers come into this game having lost their opening two games and with the real possibility that they will open up the season at 0-3.
They fought hard in their opening game against the Panthers, and almost made a stunning comeback. They came into the final quarter 10-0 down but fought back to win the quarter 14-10, but ultimately came up short as they went down 14-20 at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

In Week 2 they came even closer to claiming their first win of the season. Against the St Louis Rams they were down 7-10 at half time, but managed to turn that around to be leading 14-13 going into the final quarter. However, they fell short at the final hurdle once again, and lost the game 17-19 to go 0-2.
The Falcons meanwhile managed to get their season off to a winning start, taking the New Orleans Saints down 37-34 in a dramatic opening day victory at the Georgia Dome. That game went into overtime after the Saints fought back in the fourth quarter, but it was the Falcons who came out on top in overtime.
In Week 2 though the Falcons looked much less comfortable on the road in Cincinnati, where they were destroyed 10-24 by the Bengals. Atlanta tried to rally in the fourth, but the 3-24 gap going into the final quarter was far too much to overcome.
Tonight's Thursday's Night Football game should be a good one though, and both teams will be desperate to win to gain an early advantage in the divisional race. However, the Falcons will be slight favorites to edge this one, and they should have too much for the Buccaneers if they are on top of their game.
