Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Analysis
Nick Siriani and the Philadelphia Eagles know the impact of this game. After reaching the Super Bowl a season ago, and a fan base that is not very patient, there is a ton of pressure for them here. The Eagles are 5-4 on the road this season, and have dropped three straight on the road.
The Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts went for nearly 3,900 passing yards on the season, while he also rushed for 15 touchdowns. Just like Mike Evans on the other side, AJ Brown is the main man for the Eagles. Brown finished with 1,456 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2023.
The Eagles scored 25.5 points per game this season. That was the 7th best in the league. On the defensive side, the Eagles allowed 25.2 points per game, which was the third worst in the league.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the postseason for the third straight season. The Buccaneers started the season 3-1, and finished it 5-1. The middle stretch was not pretty, but the end result is a divisional title.
Baker Mayfield started every game for Tampa Bay this season. The signal caller put together a really nice season with more than 4,000 passing yards. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both went over 1,000 receiving yards, with Evans coming up big in the end zone. Evans was near the top with 13 touchdowns.
Rachaad White was in his first season as the starting running back. White finished 10 yards shy of 1,000 on the season, with 6 touchdowns. Tampa Bay’s defense was underrated all season, with 19.1 points per game allowed.

Our final betting pick for this game is the Philadelphia Eagles -3 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
