Eagles vs. Buccaneers Odds

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Point Spread Pick

The Eagles are favored based on expectations, but not based on actual results. They’re banged up and have lost five of their last six, including duds to the Giants and Cardinals, and blowout defeats to the two playoff-bound opponents. 

The Buccaneers have improved over the course of the season. They’re still inconsistent but find ways to win. Philly rolled Tampa 25-11 in Week 3, but that was a long time ago. We’re fading the public on this one. Lock in host Tampa to cover at ESPN BET. 

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Over/Under Best Bet

The Eagles have been a mostly confounding bunch, scoring 30-plus twice in their six-game slide and under 20 points in all other four occasions. Regardless, the Under is the trend. It’s The Under is a combined 13-4 in Philly road games and Tampa home games, and the total points have been especially low of late in Bucs road games. 

The Under is also 4-0 in Bucs games vs. opponents that average over 25 ppg. Philly is just over that mark. The Bucs managed a brutal 174 total yards in the first meeting between these teams, back in Week 3. Despite both pass defenses being less than stellar, we can’t expect either offense to cruise up and down the field. Take the Under, but as a smaller play, on MNF. 

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Moneyline Pick

The Eagles are -155 on the moneyline (wager $155 to win $100 in profit), while the host Bucs are +130 (wager $100 to win $130 in profit). We’re backing the underdog Buccaneers on the spread, but what about on the moneyline? 

Sure, why not. The Eagles have struggled to win games, the Bucs have found ways to win games, sometimes by Mayfield and his playmakers, sometimes by defense. 

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Top Player Props

Jalen Hurts, Under On Total Yards

Odds: 

Hurts said he hasn’t thrown a football since dislocating his finger in the middle of the Eagles’ 27-10 loss to the Giants. He’s also gained over 34 rushing yards just once in the last six games. His top weapons, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, are also less than 100%. It all makes for a long day for Hurts, even against the Buccaneers’ subpar pass D. Back the Under on Hurts at DraftKings. 

Dallas Goedert, Over On Receiving Yards

Odds: 

Hurts and his WRs are going to have issues, but he’s still going to throw the ball. Perhaps a shorter route, like ones in the middle of the field to a tight end, would be better. Tampa Bay ranks 30th in defense to opposing TEs, so it could be a boon to a Philly offense. Lock in Goedert’s Over on yardage at BetMGM.
