Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
I asked before the season, and I’m asking it now; are we sure the Philadelphia Eagles are good? The Eagles finished last season with losses in 6 of their last 7 games, which ended with a playoff loss to these very Buccaneers. While winning two of their first three games, the Eagles could easily be winless on the season, Hurts is hit or miss and the defense is a train wreck. The Buccaneers are coming off an ugly loss in their own right, but they have shown more through three games, and they’ve covered 10 of their 14 games as an underdog. Seven of those covers were outright wins. Give me the Bucs and the points at home.
