The Super Bowl LV champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers play host to the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday in the 2021 NFL preseason opener for both sides. Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium will be at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Bengals at Buccaneers odds and lines.
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said all his starters, including QB Tom Brady will see at least some time on the field Saturday. Meanwhile, Bengals second-year QB Joe Burrow will be held out of the preseason opener; however, RB Joe Mixon will see time in his return from injury.
Brady didn’t see the field in Week 1 of the preseason since 2017 when with the New England Patriots. He played in just two exhibition games in 2018 and only one in 2019.

The Buccaneers are heavy favorites by normally conservative preseason standards. They have an implied win probability of 71.43% by the -250 money line odds and need to win by 6 or more points in order to cover the spread.
The Bengals can cover the spread by losing by 5 or fewer points or by winning outright in an upset victory. Their implied win probability by the +200 odds is just 33.33%.
If the Bengals and Buccaneers combine to score 35 or more points Saturday, bets on the Over 34.5 (-110) will be deemed winners. A combined point total of 34 or fewer points is a win for the Under.
