Buccaneers vs Eagles Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this game with a 3-0 record, but both barely escaped with wins last week. The Buccaneers have been living dangerously in all three of their games and while they are due for a loss, they are also at home. Philadelphia has been pretty strong offensively, but their defense has definitely been a minor disappointment. I really like how both offenses operate and I think we are going to see plenty of points in this matchup. Take the over in this game.
