Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff stops in metro Atlanta to rally support for Kamala Harris
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Georgia is on the minds of former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Both camps have been making multiple visits to the state, hoping to get undecided voters on board.
On Sunday, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff made a stop at Pontoon Brewing in Sandy Springs to advocate for his wife.
“She’s somebody who spent her entire career thinking about one thing: us, the people,” said Emhoff. “She has spent her entire career solving problems.”
The visit came on the heels of vice presidential hopeful Sen. JD Vance making a stop in Atlanta the day before.

At his event, Emhoff encouraged those at home to get out and vote in the next week.
“We need to elect Kamala as president because if we do not, this country will be fundamentally different,” he said. “It’s something none of you will recognize.”
Emhoff, who is a Jewish man, mentioned that his wife has unwavering support for the Jewish community.
“She will continue to support us Jews, she will continue to help in this fight against hate and antisemitism,” said Emhoff.
Early voting has had record turnout in Georgia. So far, nearly 2.7 million people have already voted in Georgia. Now candidates are hoping the momentum is on their side.
Former President Trump is expected back in Atlanta on Monday for a rally at Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion.

Inactives for Buccaneers’ Week 8 Game vs. Atlanta Falcons
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t entirely healthy heading into their NFC South game against the Falcons.
The Bucs dropped their inactives on Sunday ahead of the action, and three starters — wide receiver Mike Evans, defensive back Tykee Smith and defensive tackle Greg Gaines will be inactive today, putting the Bucs down a few players. That also doesn’t include players on injured reserve, like wideout Chris Godwin and cornerback Jamel Dean.
See all of Tampa Bay’s inactive players below:
Tight end Devin Culp is once again active as Payne Durham will likely play but be hampered by injury. Quarterback Michael Pratt was elevated for this game but will be the team’s emergency third quarterback — he was likely elevated to prevent him from being poached off the practice squad. Finally, offensive linemen Royce Newman and Jose Ramirez are healthy scratches today.
Tykee Smith will likely be replaced by cornerback Christian Izien at the nickel spot while Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer will fill in for Evans. Gaines will likely see his spot filled by a number of rotational defensive backs.

Buccaneers Best Bets vs. Atlanta Falcons in Week 8
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a crucial matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. They’ll be wearing their throwback “creamsicle” uniforms when they look to beat the Falcons and keep their NFC South hopes alive, as going down 2-0 in the division to the Falcons would spell disaster for Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay is a 2.5-point underdog in this contest, and we have three best bets for you to lay a wager on before the Bucs play the Falcons on Sunday with prop bets and odds courtesy of FanDuel — check them out below:
Bets record this year: 12-9
There’s a reason that the Bucs aren’t favored in this one. They’ve given up 500 or more yards of offense in two of the last three weeks (including against the Falcons themselves) and are missing their two biggest playmakers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, making scoring any points an uphill battle.
That being said, this game is do-or-die for a team that was functionally better than the Falcons before those injuries and offensive coordinator Liam Coen will likely come up with a creative gameplan the Falcons may not be expecting. Combine that with a game at home in Raymond James Stadium and you could make some money on betting on the Bucs to win.

With Evans and Godwin gone, the Bucs don’t have a lot of playmakers left to score, so expect Rachaad White to get quite a few looks. White can score in the passing game or the running game, and he’ll likely be heavily involved in both with Evans and Godwin hurt and running back Bucky Irving playing with an injury as well. Gambling on White to find the end zone here is a safe bet that can get you money as well.
Two things can be true — the Bucs are down their two best wideouts and Baker Mayfield leads the NFL in total touchdowns. Mayfield has thrown two or more touchdowns in his last four games, and regardless of whether or not they come in garbage time, you get money, Would absolutely throw some cash down on this one.
