The Tampa Bay Buccaneers game today will depend greatly on the ability of Baker Mayfield and the offense to get the ball into the end zone.

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Betting Picks
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are at home in this game, so many think they have a good opportunity not only to cover but win. We just do not see it. The Philadelphia Eagles are a really good football team, and they just have not played great yet this season.
Look for them to start putting things together and win this game by a touchdown or more. Jalen Hurts and company put points on the board and slow down Tampa Bay.
- Our final betting picks: Bet the Philadelphia Eagles -4.5 and take the UNDER as well.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions
