Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre:
Last week, we hit the mark with the Eagles, who dominated the Saints and managed to cover the spread despite some challenges. However, it came at a cost, as star tackle Lane Johnson suffered a concussion, DeVonta Smith also left due to a concussion, and A.J. Brown missed the game with a hamstring injury.
This is particularly relevant since the Eagles have a bye next week. Will they risk rushing any of these players back, knowing they could have an extra week of rest?
I’m leaning toward Tampa in this matchup, anticipating that the Eagles may not push their key players too hard given the long season ahead. This isn’t so much a bet on Tampa as it is a fade of the Eagles.
The Buccaneers had a rough outing last week, which was somewhat expected after their win against the Lions. They’re also dealing with injuries to defensive linemen Calijah Kancey and Vita Vea. There’s a scenario where Saquon Barkley could rush for 150 yards, allowing the Eagles to steal a win on the road.
But will they secure a significant margin, or could it end up as a close 13-12 victory for the Eagles?
This game holds a revenge factor for Philly after their playoff loss last season. Also, keep an eye on tropical storm Helene, which could lead to windy and sloppy field conditions.
PICK: Buccaneers (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points, or win outright.
