The Buccaneers are entering this game with a 2-1 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 1-1 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the Denver Broncos 26-7. Baker Mayfield was the starting QB and he completed 25/33 passes for 163 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Bucky Irving led the team in rushing yards with 70. Chris Godwin led the receivers with 53 receiving yards on 6 receptions and 1 TD. Jamel Dean led the defense in that game with 9 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles while no one on the defense recorded a sack for them. No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall. Their only loss was at home while their wins were on the road and at a neutral site in another country. They haven't struggled in this position and even though it is their 2nd road game in a row, they looked a lot better in their last game. The offense wasn't as good but they are still finding their way and they get the job done when they need to. The defense has been their real issue this season and they showed up in a big way against the Saints last week. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall, but they are coming off a bad home loss to the Broncos in their last one. The defense couldn't stop the Broncos with a rookie QB and the offense couldn't get anything going either. The Eagles defense looked a lot better in their game last week and with them playing better now, the Eagles have become a really dangerous team. The Bucs will be looking to bounce back at home, but this is still the team that embarrassed the Eagles in the playoffs last season so expect the Eagles to bring their best effort to win this game now that they have some momentum on their side. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game.
