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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3) are set to face the Carolina Panthers (1-5) on Sunday in Week 7 at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers suffered a surprising 20-18 loss in Week 6 at the Pittsburgh Steelers as 10-point favorites. Tampa Bay will lean on RB Leonard Fournette as he’s totaled 575 scrimmage yards and 4 total touchdowns in the first 6 weeks of the season.

The Panthers are on a 3-game losing skid. They’ve lost by a combined score of 87-41 over that span, most recently a 24-10 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams as 10-point underdogs in Week 6. QB PJ Walker is expected to start for the 2nd straight game and Carolina just traded RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers so RBs D’Onta Foreman and Chubba Hubbard are set to handle the backfield duties.

Buccaneers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Panthers 13

Moneyline

Don’t even think about taking Tampa Bay (-710) straight up because of the steep odds, so PASS on the moneyline in this game. There is too much risk given the minimal return you’ll get if they come away with a victory.

Against the spread

BUCCANEERS -12.5 (-115) is where I’m going in this game with Tampa Bay coming off a disappointing loss. Meanwhile, the Panthers are going to have a backup quarterback, a hobbled secondary, and they just traded McCaffrey.

The Buccaneers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 road meetings against the Panthers and they are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 overall meetings against the Panthers.

Over/Under

OVER 39.5 (-108) seems a bit low considering that the Buccaneers could score enough points themselves to basically reach the Over. This is a perfect week for QB Tom Brady and the passing game to get on track with the Panthers overhauling their roster and coaching staff.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between Tampa Bay and Carolina.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4) at Acrisure Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Steelers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bucs are coming off a 21-15 victory over the Atlanta Falcons that ended up being highlighted by the roughing-the-passer call on QB Tom Brady.

Brady sits 4th in the NFL in passing yards. The Bucs have done what has been excepted of them with wins over New Orleans and Dallas, losing to Green Bay and Kansas City.

As for the Steelers, first-round pick Kenny Pickett, took over at QB and make his first start of the season against the Buffalo Bills, an absolute beatdown for Pittsburgh. It lost 38-3.

The rushing game let them down, totaling just 54 yards, and it has been a consistent issue for the Mike Tomlin-led Steelers. Getting RB Najee Harris going just hasn’t happened often this season.

Buccaneers at Steelers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 30, Steelers 21

Moneyline

PASS.

The Steelers are bad and should lose, but at -450, there’s no value in betting on the moneyline road favorite.

Against the spread

LEAN STEELERS +9.5 (-110).

Honestly, I wouldn’t play this until kickoff. The vast majority of the money (90% at time of writing) is on Tampa Bay per pregame.com and this has already blossomed from its 6.5 open.

The hold-up that should put the Bucs behind a bit is the key losses to its secondary. The Bucs’ 3rd- and 4th-best cornerbacks will be out, and one of their defensive captains is out.

While the Steelers didn’t get in the end zone last week, Pickett did total 327 passing yards.

If the Bucs are going to be without key defensive backs against a Steelers team with a rising quarterback and elite receiving weapons, they should be able to score enough to keep this game within single digits.

Pittsburgh is 76-48-2 against the spread (ATS) since 2015. Tomlin has been a covering beast throughout his career, and he should be able to get back on track here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 46.5 (-108).

If both teams were at full strength, Fitzpatrick would be arguably the best defensive player on the field. The loss of both him and DE TJ Watt will cripple the Steelers’ defense, one that allowed 38 points to Buffalo.

The Bucs are a run-heavy side and have amply skilled receivers to give the Steelers problems as well. Pittsburgh also has Pickett starting to make his presence felt, completing 34 of 52 passes.

Also, we’re seeing a “Pros vs. Joes” set up with more tickets on the under and more money on the over. In sports betting, following the money is typically smarter.

Considering the trend movement and the absentees in this battle, I’ll take points to be scored.

The Atlanta Falcons (2-2) are on the road in Week 5 to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2) in an NFC South divisional matchup on Sunday. Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Falcons vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Falcons, after dropping their first 2 games of the season, have won 2 straight, 27-23 over the Seahawks and 23-20 over the Browns. They rushed for 202 yards and 2 touchdowns in the win over Cleveland. QB Marcus Mariota has thrown 3 touchdown passes and 4 interceptions so far this season.

The Bucs’ defense was shredded by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Week 4, a 41-31 defeat Sunday night. QB Tom Brady was fantastic, passing for 385 yards and 3 touchdowns, but they didn’t get into the end zone until they were trailing 21-3 and never could get within 1 score.

Falcons at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 27, Falcons 20

Moneyline

The Bucs have beaten the Falcons 4 straight times. They have the better quarterback and the better defense. They are playing at home.

Atlanta is missing Pitts, and RB Cordarrelle Patterson is on injured reserve with a knee injury.

The Bucs should win this game, but PASS on the moneyline because you only get $0.20 on every dollar you wager. It’s not worth it.

Against the spread

The Falcons have covered the spread in every game this season. They have scored no fewer than 23 points in any game and average 25.8. While only getting 9 carries last week out of Patterson before he got hurt, RBs Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley led the way to over 200 rushing yards as a team against the Browns.

Tampa has allowed 4.3 yards per rush so far this season.

Atlanta’s offense will keep things close, but Brady and the Bucs will be able to stay ahead of them with their offensive attack. I don’t like the Falcons to win, but with almost a double-digit spread, I think it will be a one-score affair.

Take the FALCONS +9.5 (-101).

Over/Under

The Falcons have had totals of 50 points or more in 3 of their 4 games this season. In the last 8 matchups between the teams, the lowest total was 47 points.

Take OVER 45.5 (-115).

Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Kansas City Chiefs (2-1) head to Tampa to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) in a rematch of Super Bowl LV. Sunday’s kickoff at Raymond James Stadium is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Chiefs vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chiefs are coming off a surprising 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3. Kansas City committed several uncharacteristic mistakes on special teams and closed the game with an INT by QB Patrick Mahomes. The Bucs lost 14-12 to the Green Bay Packers last week after failing to convert a 2-point conversion in the final seconds.

The last time the Chiefs and Bucs faced each other was in Super Bowl LV in February 2021. The Bucs dominated in a 31-9 victory despite being 3-point underdogs. The Bucs lead the overall series over the Chiefs 8-6 and are 4-0 ATS against the Chiefs in their last 4 meetings. The Chiefs and Bucs are a combined 1-5 on hitting the Over in total points; the Chiefs did it in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, going 11 points over the 54-point total.

Chiefs at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 23, Buccaneers 17

Moneyline

With a half-point spread, this is basically a pick ’em game, which makes it one of the most exciting matchups in Week 4.

The Chiefs will look to get right after being embarrassed by the Colts last week. K.C. hopes to get better kicker play out of the newly-signed Matthew Wright after a disastrous Week 3 that saw Matt Ammendola miss a field goal and extra point.

The Bucs are allowing an average of just 9 points per game, best in the NFL. However, they’ve yet to face an offense as good as Kansas City’s this season. This should still be a close, low-scoring matchup with both defenses performing well this season, but with Tampa Bay’s offense banged up and not playing well, this seems like a bounce-back game for the Chiefs.

I like the CHIEFS -105.

Against the spread

Since the spread is only at half of a point, you’re better off betting the moneyline. However, if the line jumps up to 1 or 1.5 points before you place a bet Sunday, taking the CHIEFS ATS might be the best move since the payout will be close to the same as the moneyline, and K.C. could plausibly win by just 1 point.

Over/Under

The Bucs are allowing just 9 points per game (1st) and are scoring just 17 points per game (9th worst). The Chiefs are scoring 29.3 points per game (4th best) and are allowing 21.7 points per game (16th best). The numbers average out to around 20 points for each squad, which is about where this game should land.

Despite the big names at QB, this should be more of a defensive matchup. Both teams are in the NFL’s top 5 in sacks and top 10 in average yards per carry allowed. The Bucs are also 1st in the NFL in takeaways. On paper there shouldn’t be much scoring, so the game should fall Under 46 points. Play the UNDER 46.5 (-115) lightly.

Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Green Bay Packers (1-1) are headed south on Sunday to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) in a battle of 2 future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Green Bay is coming off a 27-10 victory against NFC North rival the Chicago Bears. QB Aaron Rodgers hit 19-of-25 passes for 234 yards and 2 TDs. moved the ball around the offense with 8 players having at least 1 reception, but nobody with more than 3. RB Aaron Jones carried the ball 15 times for 132 yards and a TD while RB AJ Dillion had 18 carries for 61 yards. The Packers defense forced an interception and held the Bears offense to only 48 yards passing.

The Buccaneers are coming off their 1st win against the New Orleans Saints in the Tom Brady era. The game was slow, with the score tied 3-3 after 3 quarters, but the Bucs scored 17 in the final quarter behind Brady’s 190 passing yards overall to win 20-10. Brady hit 7 receivers with only WR Russell Gage, 5) receiver having more than 3 receptions. RB Leonard Fournette carried the ball 24 times for 65 yards. On the other side of the ball, the Tampa Bay defense forced 5 turnovers (3 INT, 2 FUM) which proved to be the deciding factor for the victory.

Packers at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Packers 14

Money line

Lean BUCCANEERS (-117). Brady and the Bucs will able to move the ball on a weak Packers defense. Fournette will be able to find holes and open up opportunities for Brady to sit back in the pocket and find his open receivers. Their defense will continue to do what the do best and force turnovers which will give Tampa Bay the edge.

Against the spread

BUCCANEERS -1.5 (-108). The Tampa Bay offense will prove to be too much for the Packers defense and the Bucs defense will be able to contain Rodgers and his receivers, who he is finding difficulty creating chemistry with.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-112). Although it sounds crazy to bet the Under in a Rodgers vs. Brady matchup, both teams have shown run-heavy trends early on this season. Expect Jones, Dillion, and Fournette to receive a lot of the weight for each offense which will keep the clock moving.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and predictions

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

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) clash with the New Orleans Saints (1-0) for the early lead in the NFC South Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Saints, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bucs outlasted the Dallas Cowboys 19-3 in their season opener on Sunday Night Football. It came at a cost, though as WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) and OT Donovan Smith (elbow) are both likely to miss this week’s game after suffering injuries in the opener. Tampa actually quit throwing the ball late in the game because QB Tom Brady was getting hit so much.

The Saints pulled a rabbit out of a hat to beat the Atlanta Falcons 27-26 on a field goal with 19 seconds remaining. New Orleans trailed from early in the 2nd quarter but outscored Atlanta 17-3 in the final frame to secure the W. They, too, have some injury concerns as their QB and both running backs are on the injury report.

Buccaneers at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 23, Saints 21

Money line

The Bucs are vulnerable, and Brady does not look comfortable in the pocket with both starting tackles ailing and his center out for the year. I just don’t think the Saints have enough continuity to beat them yet — the Bucs aren’t the Falcons.

If NOLA’s line swelled closer to +150, I’d consider sprinkling a little. However, Brady and Co. get it done. Take the BUCCANEERS (-135).

Against the spread

Conversely, I think the Bucs struggle enough offensively to give the Saints a chance. DE Cameron Jordan will be in TB12’s face all day. If you find somewhere to take an Over 1.5 Sacks, I’d be all over that.

LEAN SAINTS +2.5 (-103).

Over/Under

What a great number here. We’re projecting 44 points, but this could truly go either way. Tampa scored just 19 and kicked a slew of field goals because they couldn’t protect Brady. The Saints dropped 27 on an inferior Atlanta team, and most of both offenses are banged up.

LEAN UNDER 44.5 (-117).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

QB Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers open the 2022 season on the road in a Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) at AT&T Stadium. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Following a playoff loss in the divisional round, the Bucs had an interesting offseason. It began with the retirement of Brady, only for him to change his mind 40 days later and return for another season. Bruce Arians retired as coach, moving into the front office, and Todd Bowles replaced him.

The Cowboys won the NFC East last season and seek to defend that title. They traded WR Amari Cooper and brought back WR Michael Gallup – though he’s out with a knee injury – while bolstering their pass rush with the addition of DE Dante Fowler.

Buccaneers at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Cowboys 17

Money line

Brady has never lost to the Cowboys in 6 career matchups.

The Cowboys were not dominant at home in 2021, going 5-3 in the regular season. The Bucs were 6-3 on the road.

Tampa has questions on the offensive line, but Brady is still playing at a high level and Tampa’s defense is still the same unit that ranked 5th in points allowed last season.

It is a strong enough unit to limit the passing attack.

Take the BUCCANEERS (-135).

Against the spread

Last season, the Cowboys were the league’s best team against the spread, going 13-5 ATS overall. They were 3-1 ATS as underdogs.

The Buccaneers only won 2 games by fewer than 3 points, so if you like the Bucs to win, there is a good chance they will cover the spread.

The Cowboys lost by fewer than 3 points only once last season.

If you like the Cowboys to win, the money line is the better bet for you. If you like the Bucs to win outright as I do, take the BUCCANEERS -2.5 (-115) for the slightly better value over the money line.

Over/Under

Tampa was 10-9 O/U last season and Dallas was 8-10 O/U.

The Bucs held their opponents to under 20 points 8 times last season.

Last season in Week 1 when both teams played, they combined for 60 total points.

With both teams dealing with injured receivers they are counting on, there won’t be as many long, fast drives. Ball control will matter.

Take UNDER 50.5 (-115).

On Site – Can Cowboys open season with win vs. Tom Brady’s Buccaneers?

In this Week 1 matchup, the Dallas Cowboys are home underdogs against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The first Sunday night game of the NFL season features QB Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting the Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC).

On Site host Tony Anderson is joined by USA TODAY’s Cowboys beat reporter Jori Epstein, who gives the scoop from inside the Dallas locker room.

The Cowboys and Buccaneers actually met in Week 1 a year ago, facing off in the NFL season opener on a Thursday night in Tampa.

Brady threw for 379 yards and 4 TDs, rallying the Bucs to a 31-29 victory, which was capped by Ryan Succop’s 36-yard field with 2 seconds remaining.

Just 1 minute, 22 seconds earlier, the Cowboys kicked a field goal for 29-28 lead.

Will Sunday night’s game feature the same type of fireworks? Anderson points out, “we won’t see Amari Cooper, Antonio Brown or Gronk, so I don’t like the Over, but I do like betting on …”

Listen to the video above to hear who Anderson likes.

FYI: Cooper is now with the Cleveland Browns (offseason trade with Dallas), Brown is unsigned, last playing in Week 16 before his famous walk-off-the-field incident with Tampa, and Rob Gronkowski retired following his 2nd season with the Bucs.

Buccaneers at Colts picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Colts 21

Money line

Preseason games tend to be tossups, especially when starters are held out of games. You are left with backups and players that largely won’t be on NFL rosters deciding games.

Is there anything we can take away from the teams’ first 2 preseason contests that help us pick tonight’s outcome? Not really, other than both teams can score and give up points.

So for preseason games, if you are going to wager, go with the best value since it is a tossup. Take the BUCCANEERS (+155).

Against the spread

The Bucs have lost by 2 and by 10. The Colts have lost by 3 and by 1.

Does that tell us anything?

Well, when it is Kyle Trask and Jack Coan deciding games, no.

With a small spread and the variant nature of the preseason, PASS on the spread.

[the_huddle]

Over/Under

Here we can make a somewhat educated pick. The Bucs’ last game only had a total of 16 points, but their preseason opener and both games the Colts have played had more than 50 total points.

Take OVER 40.5 (-117).

This total came down a point Saturday and remains at a value.
