Buccaneers + 6 (-110)
Not exactly a play I thought I would have on my Bingo card when the season started but here we are. The Bucs defense has proven strong against the run so far led by DT Vita Vea who seems to be all systems go tonight (LB Devin White is also active) versus a Eagles team running the ball a league-leading 53.68% of the time. By no means does that make Philadelphia one-dimensional & both teams will have to stray away from the run in this one to avoid each others stout rush defense.
Buccaneers
OPP Yds/rush: 3.3 (ranked 5th)
OPP Rush Yds/game: 54 (ranked 4th)
Eagles
OPP Yds/rush: 3.4 (ranked 6th)
OPP Rush Yds/game: 52 (ranked 1st)
Neither team should have an issue switching it up and throwing the ball, the Eagles secondary is still trying to put it together and the Bucs are without starting CB Carlton Davis:
Buccaneers
OPP Completion %: 67.12 (ranked 21st)
OPP Pass Yds/Game: 248.5 (ranked 23rd)
Eagles
OPP Completion %: 67.35 (ranked 23rd)
OPP Pass Yds/Game: 248.5 (ranked 30th)
Baker has proved game and able to score with his new offensive weapons when needed landing in the top 10 in:
Completion %: 69.12% (ranked 9th)
Yds/pass: 7.1 (ranked 7th)
Pass Yds/game: 243 (ranked 9th)
While the Eagles pass game has yet to fully spread their wings, we know what they are capable of with runner-up MVP throwing to AJ Brown & Devonta Smith. I think both teams should shoot it out to try and take advantage of weaker spots on each others defense to get the over taken care of. Baker and these Buccaneers have everything to gain in this spot and truly nothing to lose while Hurts is 4-10 ATS as a road favorite. Give me the 6 points in this spot.
Go Buccaneers & Offense!
