The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked good in their games this season with their 11-6 record overall which has them in a Wild Card spot but a good majority of those wins came in the 1st half of the season. They haven't looked good at all in their games lately as they have been losing a ton of games which put them right out of the race for the NFC East, the Cowboys eventually winning the division. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have also looked good this season with their 9-8 record overall which won the NFC South. They have been a really up and down team that has overperformed all year with Baker Mayfield, but they haven't looked good in their games lately either. They were fortunate to squeak by the Panthers last week which clinched the division for them and even though he is not listed on the injury report, Baker Mayfield is just as banged up as Hurts with all of the injuries he has been playing through lately. The Eagles also beat the Bucs earlier this season in Tampa so this is a game that has already been played this year and as bad as the Eagles have been this season, they will bounce back now that playoffs have started since they still have a lot more talent than the Bucs on both sides of the ball. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game.
