Cowboys at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 26, Buccaneers 17

Moneyline

The COWBOYS (-140) haven’t had a lot of success on the road, especially down the stretch. Dallas won just 2 of its final 6 games on the road.

The good news for Cowboys nation and side bettors is that Dallas is tremendously healthy heading into this playoff game, while Tampa Bay has several key members of the team dotting the injury report. Advantage Pokes.

Against the spread

COWBOYS -2.5 (-115) have history working against them, as QB Tom Brady has never lost to Dallas in 7 career tries. Of course, there are a lot of things Brady hasn’t done before, which happened in this uneven season. For instance, he never made the playoffs with a sub-.500 team. In fact, as a starting QB, his team has never been below .500 since his 2002 New England Patriots team was 3-4.

The Buccaneers +2.5 (-105) will have their boisterous crowd behind them. That likely won’t be enough, however, as loud fans aren’t playing. The fact that Edwards, Neal and Ryan are on the injury report, and each listed as questionable, is a problem. Even if 1 of those guys is sidelined, it will cause mismatches downfield. Dallas will likely be trying to go over the top early and often. And if Vea is out, that hurts the pass rush and run stopping capabilities.

The Cowboys have no such injury concerns, and that’s the difference here, despite what Brady’s historical numbers are.

Over/Under

UNDER 45.5 (-110) is the lean, as both sides have tremendous defense.

Yes, as mentioned above, there is some concern with the Tampa Bay defense, particularly on the back end. But the Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in this series, including just 22 total points in Week 1.

The Under is also 9-4-1 in the last 14 road games for the Cowboys, and 4-1 in the last 5 showings in January.

The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 playoff home games for the Bucs, while going 15-5 in the last 20 games against NFC teams. The Under is also 12-3 in the last 15 games for Tampa following a straight-up loss.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8) face off against the Atlanta Falcons (6-10) Sunday in a regular-season finale. Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Falcons, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers beat the Carolina Panthers 30-24 last Sunday to cover the spread as 3.5-point home favorites and clinch the NFC South. In their previous 6 games, Tampa Bay is 3-2 straight up but 1-5 against the spread (ATS) and 4-11-1 ATS on the season.

The Falcons edged past the Arizona Cardinals 20-19 last week, failing to cover as 7-point home favorites. They are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games and 8-8 ATS overall — yep, they opened the season 6-0 ATS before the freefall. So, it’s no surprise Atlanta has already been eliminated from playoff contention.

Buccaneers at Falcons picks and predictions

Prediction

Falcons 20, Buccaneers 13

Moneyline

PASS.

Although the Buccaneers (+170) are without a lot of top players and the Falcons (-200) are at home, the moneyline odds do not present enough return on investment to make a play worth it.

Against the spread

LEAN FALCONS -4 (-109).

As mentioned, Tampa Bay is 4-11-1 ATS and having already clinched a playoff spot, it already has its sights beyond this Week 18 matchup.

On the flip side, with their season already all but over, the Falcons are looking to close the season on a high note and see what progress QB Desmond Ridder can make before the offseason.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 40.5 (-110).

The Falcons’ Under has hit 5 times in a row and 7 of their last 8 games. The Buccaneers’ Under has hit 5 times in their last 8 games. In a game that has no ramifications, points may be more difficult to come by.

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (6-9) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-8) meet for a Week 17 matchup Sunday. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium is set for 1 p.m. (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers are alive for the NFC South title, controlling their own destiny. A win in Tampa is obviously imperative, and with a loss Carolina is eliminated from postseason contention.

Carolina stunned the visiting Detroit Lions last week at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, winning 37-23 as 2.5-point underdogs. The Panthers are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 games, including a 21-3 win over the Bucs in Week 7 as a 13-point underdog.

Tampa Bay is just 3-4 straight up (SU) this season at home, while going 0-6-1 against the spread (ATS). In fact, the Buccaneers have failed to cover the last 5 games overall, while going just 1-11-1 ATS in the last 13 games.

Panthers at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 21, Panthers 18

Moneyline

This is going to be a super tight game. The Panthers have been pesky since interim coach Steve Wilks took the reins of the team, and one of his 5 victories came against these Bucs. When the Buccaneers were at -170 it was playable if you wanted to forget about fiddling around with the points. But with the line up to -190, look to the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

This game could very well come down to a field to decide a winner so take BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-112), because I really and truly believe Tampa Bay will win by exactly 3 points.

Over/Under

UNDER 40.5 (-107) is the way to go in this ultra-important NFC South battle.

We saw a total of 24 points in the first meeting in Charlotte, an easy Under play, and the Under is 8-3 in the last 11 NFC South Division battles for the Panthers.

For the Bucs, the Under is 4-0 in the last 4 inside the division, while going 13-3 in the last 16 against teams with a losing record, and 11-4 in the last 15 games overall.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

To close out the NFL’s 3-game Christmas schedule, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-8) have a road game against the Arizona Cardinals (4-10) Sunday night. Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium (NBC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Cardinals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers have lost 3 of their last 4 games yet still lead the NFC South. Last week, they lost 34-23 to the Cincinnati Bengals at home as 3.5-point underdogs.

The Cardinals are down to their third-string quarterback. Kyler Murray was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Backup Colt McCoy suffered a concussion last week and was ruled out this week, so Trace McSorley will make his first NFL start. The Cardinals have lost 4 games in a row and 6 of their last 7. They lost 24-15 on the road to the Denver Broncos last week as 7.5-point underdogs.

Buccaneers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Cardinals 13

Moneyline

At first look, there is no question who should win. It is Tom Brady vs. Trace McSorley. While the Bucs have dropped 3 of their last 4, the losses have come against 2 teams headed to the postseason and 1 that is battling for a playoff berth.

The Cardinals have fallen apart. They have scored 15 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games and have allowed at least 20 unanswered points in their last 2 games.

But betting the moneyline has no money to be made unless you are expecting a Christmas miracle win for the Cardinals.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Bucs are 3-10-1 ATS, the worst mark in the league.

But the Cardinals have covered the spread only once in their last 10 games.

They will struggle against Tampa’s defense, and the Tampa offense might be slow early on, but even the Broncos’ lowest-scoring offense in the league put up 24 against the Cardinals last week.

BET BUCCANEERS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Since Murray’s injury, the Cardinals have not had a game go higher than 40 total points.

Five of the Bucs’ last 6 games have not reached 41 total points.

BET UNDER 40 (-110).

Buccaneers at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 20, 49ers 13

Moneyline

The 49ers have the league’s No. 1 defense in yards and points allowed. Opponents score only 15.8 points per game and 283.9 yards per game. However, Tampa’s defense is no slouch, allowing only 18.3 points and 313.8 yards per game.

The Bucs rank 27th in scoring at only 18.1 points per game, while the 49ers are 13th at 23.5 PPG.

Tampa has had time to prepare for 49ers QB Brock Purdy. The Bucs will focus on slowing the run game and make Purdy make plays. The 49ers are 9-29 when anyone other than Garoppolo starts at QB.

It is hard to believe that Purdy could outduel QB Tom Brady, yet the 49ers are favored. This is a great underdog bet to make.

BET BUCCANEERS (+160).

Against the spread

The Bucs are only 3-8-1 ATS this season. The Bucs have only covered the spread once in their last 10 games. However, this is the 1st time all season they have not been favored.

The 49ers are 7-5 ATS. In their 5-game winning streak, they have covered the spread 4 times.

The 49ers will come down to earth with Purdy at QB, but the ATS bet for the Bucs isn’t has good as the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in only 2 games for the Bucs this season. The Bucs have held opponents to 16 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games. And you can expect the San Francisco offense to struggle against Tampa’s defense.

BET UNDER 37 (-111).

The 3.5-point favorite Buccaneers lost in overtime on the road against the Cleveland Browns 23-17 in Week 12. The Bucs are just 1-7-1 ATS in the last 9 outings, while the Under has cashed in 6 of the last 7 games overall, and 9 of 11 games overall.

Saints at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 20, Saints 13

Moneyline

The Buccaneers (-190) are just a little too expensive for my liking on the money line, costing nearly 2 times your potential return.

Plus, this is a team coming off a loss against the hapless Cleveland Browns. Couple that with the fact the last time these teams played at the RayJay, New Orleans came away with a 9-0 win in a prime-time matchup, and that equals no sale for me.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Take the BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-106), but play it lightly.

The offense for the Saints +3.5 (-114) is a disaster right now, and New Orleans was blanked last weekend in San Francisco. The Bucs do not have quite as strong of a defense as the 49ers, but Tampa’s D is still pretty decent. The Saints should struggle to score again in Week 13.

Over/Under

UNDER 40.5 (-107) is the play in this AFC South showdown.

These are 2 teams with very good defenses, and subpar offenses lately. We’ll get another defensive slog between these teams.

The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings, including Week 2 in NOLA, and the Under is 11-3 in the previous 14 meetings in Tampa. Expect another here.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-5) meet the Cleveland Browns (3-7) for a Week 12 battle at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers have won each of the past 2 outings, and they’re looking for a season-high 3rd-consecutive victory. Tampa Bay is also looking for back-to-back covers for the first time since Weeks 1-2.

Tampa Bay has lost and failed to cover each of its 2 games against AFC opponents this season, splitting the Over and Under in those outings.

The Browns lost 31-23 against the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field in Detroit last week in a game moved due to copious amounts of snow in western New York. Cleveland has won just once in the past 7 games overall, while covering just 2 times in the span.

Cleveland hasn’t faced an NFC team at home this season, and it is 1-1 SU/ATS in 2 games vs. NFC this season.

Buccaneers at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Browns 20

Moneyline

The BUCCANEERS (-170) are a little on the pricey side, but not a bad play if you don’t want to fiddle around laying the points.

There is risk, as Tampa Bay hasn’t won 3 in a row all season. However, the defense is playing tremendous football lately, and the Bucs are well rested as it is coming off a bye.

Tampa Bay has dropped its past 2 road games, including a setback at Carolina as a 13-point favorite. But Cleveland is a poor team, which just seems to find a way to lose, especially in close games.

Against the spread

Play BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-102), but go very lightly. As a favorite of 3 or more points, Tampa Bay is 0-3-1 ATS this season, so there is a lot of risk.

The Browns +3.5 (-118) are 2-2 ATS as an underdog of 3 or more points, including the past 2 outings. It’s really difficult to envision a scenario where the struggling defensive unit, led by embattled defensive coordinator Joe Woods, is able to slow down rested future Hall of Famer Tom Brady and the visiting Bucs.

Over/Under

OVER 42 (-111) is the lean here.

The Over has cashed at a 7-2-1 clip overall for the Browns, including 4-0-1 in 5 home games this season. Cleveland has allowed 30 or more points in each of the past 2 games, and 4 of the past 6 games overall.

The Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games for the Buccaneers, but the Over did hit in the most-recent game against an AFC team.

Seattle Seahawks at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Seahawks (6-3) travel to Munich, Germany, to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Seahawks vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After leading his 55th career comeback victory last Sunday — against the Los Angeles Rams — Tom Brady leads the Buccaneers across the pond to Germany for a Week 10 game. Brady and the Bucs have not looked sharp this season. WR Mike Evans has been uncharacteristically dropping passes and the run game with RB Leonard Fournette has yet to get fully going.

For Seattle, what was supposed to be a season of despair has turned into a season of hope.

Seattle leads the NFC West and a win this week will keep them a 2 games ahead of the 49ers in the NFC West. While focus was on Russell Wilson heading to Denver, QB Geno Smith is showing he has something left in the tank. He has outplayed Wilson so far this season and his game play is fitting better with the Seahawks then Wilson did in recent years.

Even with the Buccaneers down, this will be a tough challenge for Seattle before having a bye next week.

Seahawks at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 24, Buccaneers 21

Moneyline

BET SEATTLE (+120).

Seattle is the better team and should not be the underdog in this game. You can hedge by only playing the spread, taking Seattle +2.5 (-102), but the Seahawks should win this game. SEATTLE (-120) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.

Against the spread

PASS.

Seattle should win this game making the +2.5 (-102) spread not needed. Therefore, I would rather take the chance on the ML mentioned above.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 45 (-110).

This is only a small lean to the Over. We do not know how the field in Germany will play. In early games in London, on primarily soccer pitches, the Under hit quite often due to field conditions. With the uncertainty around the conditions and their effects, I will only put a small play on OVER 45 (-110).

First look: Seattle Seahawks vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 10 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Seattle Seahawks (6-3) travel to Munich, Germany, to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we look at Seahawks vs. Buccaneers odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.

Geno Smith has led the Seahawks to the NFC West lead in the most surprising story in the NFL this season. His stellar play continued Sunday in a 31-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in an important divisional matchup.

The Buccaneers have been on the opposite end of the spectrum. At 4-5, they are still tied for the NFC South lead with the Atlanta Falcons. This is the only good thing to say about their season this far.

Tom Brady, despite leading his 55th comeback victory Sunday in the Buccaneers 16-13 win over the Los Angeles Rams, has been down this season. Off-field issues have manifested and they have shown in his play. A game in a different country may be the medicine needed to get this team on the right track. And for those of you headed to the game, Herzlich willkommen in München, Deutschland.

Seahawks vs. Buccaneers head-to-head

The last time these teams played was in November 2019. That was the season before the Buccaneers signed Brady and the final score was 40-34 Seahawks in overtime. The Seahawks were 4-point favorites in that contest.

The only constant between those teams and these is coach Pete Carroll with Seattle. Everything else has changed and it will be difficult to know how the field conditions in Munich will be for this game.

Playing on a soccer pitch has been tough for NFL teams. Games in London were low scoring until the NFL assisted stadium was built. Allianz Stadium, as great as it is, is built for soccer. So, make sure to be careful making any wagers.

Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Rams (3-4) take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) Sunday in an important NFC battle for both teams. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium will be at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS) this weekend. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rams vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams are fresh off a 31-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8, dropping them below .500 for the second time this season — and only the second time in Sean McVay’s head coaching career. The Rams’ offense has been shockingly bad this season, ranking 28th in points per game (16.9).

The Buccaneers have been equally disappointing this season, starting the year 3-5 with wins against the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. They’re currently on a 3-game losing skid, the first time QB Tom Brady has lost 3 in a row since 2002. The Buccaneers rank 25th in the NFL with 18.3 points per game after finishing 2nd in the league last year.

Rams at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 21, Buccaneers 20

Moneyline

This is a battle between 2 of the most disappointing teams in the NFL, and 2 of the least explosive offenses – something no one expected to say before the season began. As poorly as both teams have played through 8 weeks, I think the Rams are better set up to win this one.

They’re healthier than they have been in recent weeks, while the Buccaneers are ailing with 4 starters out. Not to mention, the Rams have beaten Brady and the Buccaneers 3 straight times since 2020. Bet the RAMS (+133) to win outright.

Against the spread

This should be a relatively close game, so getting the 3 points with the Rams is a good value. Though they’re just 2-5 ATS this season, the Buccaneers are a half-game worse at 2-6 and they’ve dropped 6 straight ATS.

Take the RAMS +3 (-108), despite them being on the road. It’s a late-afternoon kickoff, so it’s not as if this will be an early 10 a.m. PT game for Los Angeles.

Over/Under

I’m not overly confident betting on either side here. Each team has scored at least 24 points in each of the last 3 meetings between the Rams and Bucs, so these have been high-scoring matchups.

The total isn’t very high at just 42.5 points, but I still LEAN UNDER 42.5 (-108).
