Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers begin their defense of their Super Bowl championship by hosting Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Buccaneers earned the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a 13-4 record and have won three straight despite losing several key offensive weapons. The Eagles won four straight to clinch a playoff berth before losing a quasi-meaningless game to the Cowboys in Week 18.

The Bucs beat the Eagles 28-22 in Week 6, though Tampa led 28-7 at one stage and outgained Philly nearly 2-to-1 in yards. Betting sites and most betting apps have Tampa Bay at -8 in the latest Eagles vs. Buccaneers NFL spreads range, notably down from the -9.5 opening line.

Take a look at Eagles vs Buccaneers odds, injury report, betting lines and more.

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Key Matchups

115: Pass yards by Jalen Hurts in the Week 6 matchup with the Buccaneers, a 28-22 Tampa win (on 12-of-26 passing). That was his second-lowest production of the year, ahead of only a 103-yard effort in a 44-6 win over the Broncos, in which he didn’t need to throw.

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Moneyline

When it comes to NFL betting on the moneyline, favored Tampa Bay is a hefty -400 on the moneyline, while Philadelphia is set at +300. The Bucs won the regular season meeting by just six points.

Could this be a different scenario? The Eagles have mastered their offense in the second half of the season. The Bucs are battling without Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette. They’re battling quite well, scoring 32, 28 and 41 points in their last three games albeit against lesser competition. But the Eagles are winless against teams with winning records – a major problem in the playoffs, especially against a team that has the matchups. If we’re going on a moneyline side, it’s definitely with Tampa Bay.

Eagles vs. Buccaneers Totals

NFL sportsbooks have posted an Over/Under of 49 points for this Sunday afternoon – that number has dipped from the opening line of 49.5.

It might dip more, and for good reason. Philadelphia’s defense ranks No. 9 vs. both the run and the pass, the only NFL team in the top 10 in both. Tampa Bay has struggled vs. the pass but ranks No. 3 vs. the run. Against a run-first team like the Eagles, that’s the strength you want to have. Recent trends favor the Under here, too, including its 5-1 mark in Tampa’s last six January games, and 5-1 in Philly’s last six in this month. That makes the Under worth considering as part of your NFL picks package for Wild Card Weekend.
