Buccaneers at Eagles odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Buccaneers 31, Eagles 17
Money line
The Eagles are 1-3 against teams with winning records when they play them. They have not yet won a game this season at home.
The Bucs are No. 1 in total offense and No. 3 in points scored per game. Their only loss this season was to the now 4-1 Los Angeles Rams.
Take the BUCCANEERS (-290).
Against the spread
Both the Eagles and the Buccaneers are 2-3 ATS on the season, but the Eagles are 0-2 ATS at home. The Bucs, though, are 0-2 ATS on the road.
The Bucs have played in two prime-time games so far this time, winning both by only two points each. However, they put up 48 points against the 12th-ranked Atlanta Falcons defense. The Eagles are ranked ninth in total defense.
Brady has 15 touchdown passes to only two interceptions in five games. He should pick apart the Eagles defense.
Take the BUCCANEERS -6.5 (-112).
Over/Under
Four of the Buccaneers’ five games this season have hit the Over. Two of the Eagles’ five games have.
The Bucs have allowed only 17 points in each of their last two games. They will limit Hurts and the Philadelphia offense, keeping their total low enough that, even if they put up 30 points, it won’t be enough to get to the projected total. Brady is also playing in a short week after injuring his throwing thumb Sunday. It has been heavily wrapped all week, and it’s going to be a factor.
Take UNDER 52.5 (-110).
