Ravens at Buccaneers picks and predictions
Prediction
Ravens 24, Buccaneers 19
Moneyline
BACK RAVENS (+110).
Baltimore has been playing better football than Tampa Bay this season, and it will be able to pick up a 2nd straight win for the first time in 2022.
Tampa Bay has been rock solid on defense, but it allows 118.3 rushing yards per contest to rank just 17th in the NFL. That’s bad news when the multi-talented QB Lamar Jackson comes to town.
Against the spread
PASS.
This line moved from Baltimore -1.5 to Baltimore +1.5. Originally, I suggested to play the Ravens at +1.5 if you wanted the 1½ points of insurance.
I still see the Ravens winning this one, so I’m not going to worry about taking the small points.
Buccaneers QB Tom Brady really struggled behind a Swiss cheese offensive line in Charlotte last weekend, and the team looked rather disinterested overall. If the Panthers can crush this team, imagine what a talented offensive unit like the Ravens can do.
Over/Under
UNDER 46.5 (-112) is the lean, ever so slightly.
The Under has cashed in 4 in a row for Baltimore while going 13-5 in its last 18 on the road. In addition, the Under has hit in 4 of the past 5 on a natural grass surface.
For Tampa, the Under is 6-1, while going 4-1 in the past 5 appearances on a Thursday.
