MNF GOY: Eagles @ Buccaneers (w/write-up)

>>> KEY STATS <<<

• Hurts has been sacked 7 times this season

• The Bucs have recorded 8 sacks this season

• Hurts struggled against Todd Bowles' defense in the 2021 playoffs

>>>INJURIES<<<

• The Eagles have the 2nd ranked rush offense while the Bucs have the 3rd best run defense

• Both Vita Vea and Devon White are questionable for the Bucs, however I'm not concerned about their availability

>>>THE PICK<<<

Buccaneers ML +190

both home teams cover Monday  + 4.5 TB  -1 Cinncy          book it 

Good luck MM.  

Tampa won in week 1 against the Vikings (20-17), and on week 2 Against the bears (27-17)

Now, they will face A REAL DEFENSE, with Mayfield as their QB.

Phily might choke here, but I wouldn't bet against them, especially if I would depend on the Bucs.

I'm leaning Phily -5 here, but I admit anything might happen in this game, so probably won't bet.

Anyway, GL.

 Philly giving up 24 pure ppg last 2..not that great of a defense point wise anyway.

Eagles ml has been money going back to last season, common man

@Wizerguy

Eagles haven't seemed right so far but this Reminds me of Washington vs Buffalo. 2-0 team that probably isn't as good as undefeated(even though it is only 2 games) vs an expected top notch team. I woulkd lean Bucs but am just going to watch

Just watch if you're unsure. Don't force any plays.

@MistaMiz316

Based on what we've seen this season, the Bucs are the play.  I'm on them too.

Good luck to us! 

WOW! I feel so sorry for all of the fools who are going to tail you on this and try to get their money back for the week. 
   Not a chance Tampa wins tonight and most likely a Eagles W by 10+ 

Bucs are the only team left without committing a Turnover, +5 in that department, 2nd behind Dallas for TO differential. Eagles are +4 so they've done a good job too but in what is likely a close game, that one mistake either way can be the difference between winning and losing. 

Eagles defense, less 5 starters from last season, hasn't been close to the same, 15th in PPG, 26th in yards allowed. Their vaunted pass rush from last season which produced a staggering 70 sacks has only 4 through the 1st two games, the Bucs have 8. From the Bucs vantage, biggest concern is downfield passing on defense, Cousins and Jefferson picked them apart. Eagles, same, they've given up entirely too much in the passing game, to Cousins, understandable, but Mac Jones too, 316 yards and 3 TDs. You have pretty good receivers on both teams tonight, whoever wins that battle, wins the game.

@mrusso

Bucs are gonna blown out. 

Week 1, Eagles gave up 20 points at NE home opener.

That's very ok. On week 1 errors are commited, and things must be put into places.

In week 2, the Eagles gave up 28 points to the vikings powerfull offense.

Now, of course it isn't looking that great, and thank you for pointing that out.

Offseason expectations makes us believe that the Eagles D are a powerhouse. 

having said that, I do think they are capable of shutting Baker Mayfield out in Tampa. I predict that the Bucs can score something between 12-18 points tonight, and the Eagles 15 to 25.

Lol Bucs ML. 

If you're taking the Bucs in this spot I think you're insane for not taking the points in a 'game of the year'. So many of these games especially television games are within 1 score. If TB is down 4 points and has the ball for the final drive you wouldn't need to sweat your bet, but if you have ML you need him to not throw a pick or take a sack vs a defense that gets lots of pressure and takeaways.

Good point. Line is at +5.5 now.

@MistaMiz316

 Good luck!!!!!

Nine games yesterday had a margin of victory of 10+ points That does not sound close to me
