Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction
The Baltimore Ravens have gotten back on track and are everybody’s new sexy team to make a deep run again. The Ravens deserve the benefit of the doubt. However, the Buccaneers are quietly playing good ball in their own right as the defense is getting healthier and their offense is now third in scoring and top-10 in total offense.
The Buccaneers have covered and outright won each of their last 3 games as a home underdog. The Bucs have the offense to go toe to toe with any in the NFL and on Monday night that place should be rocking at home. There’s also the fact this will be the Buccaneer’s first home game since the hurricane, so there’s added motivation. Give me the points.
