The Buccaneers and Eagles kick off the first game of a doubleheader on Monday Night Football to end Week 2. The Eagles and Bucs both find themselves 2-0 entering this game, with one team heading towards 3-0.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Best Bet
Leg 1: Bucs +5.5
The Eagles are 2-0, but they have played two tight games that have ended by five and six points. Mac Jones nearly converted on fourth down on what would have been a game-winning drive in that game before just coming short and turning it over on downs. The Vikings, the week after, made it a six-point game with 7:41 left and even got the stop to get the ball back to win it, but there was too little time to complete the drive. So yes, the Eagles are 2-0, but they have been in some tight games, and the Eagles' defense underwent some changes in the offseason that may be showing up early on in the season.
I'm not saying the Bucs are necessarily better than the Eagles at their current state, but they are catching nearly a touchdown at home against an Eagles team that is looking slightly more human this season than last. Baker Mayfield has looked impressive early on in his Buccaneers career, and he is connecting well to Mike Evans especially, but also Chris Godwin. The Bucs don't have much of a ground game, but that's okay because the Eagles would shut it down anyway. The Bucs will have to keep this one close through the air, and with a few injuries in the backfield and a downgraded secondary, Baker Mayfield and co. can do so. The Bucs are 2-0, although they have played two teams that are now 0-3, but I still like what the offense is cooking over in Tampa. I think this is a field goal game either way.
Leg 2: Chris Godwin Over 54.5 Receiving Yards
Mike Evans has been the story of this Bucs' offense so far, posting 237 receiving yards through the first two games, but Chris Godwin is the clear number two in this offense and has chances for big games. Godwin has had 51 and 58 receiving yards through his first two games, and his line is hanging right in the middle of that tonight.
Godwin should feast in the slot tonight. Evans will be covered by Darius Slay, who is the best defensive back on the Eagles, basically all night. That means Godwin and Palmer will split time in the slot tonight, and Godwin can hit slant routes till his legs fall off. Mayfield will be looking to attack the middle of the field, which is where Godwin will be for most of the night. He can hit this in 3-4 catches, and he should go for over 60 yards tonight.
Leg 3: Rachaad White Under 47.5 Rushing Yards
Speaking of shutting down the run game, not many other teams will do a better job of it than the Eagles line this year. Through the first two games of the season, running backs have not fared well against this Eagle's front line.
In Week 1, Rhamondre Stevenson had a rushing yards line of 63.5 and hit just 25. Ezekiel Elliot had a line of 32.5 and hit 29. In Week 2, Alexander Mattison had a line of 54.5 rushing yards and hit 28. No running back has hit their line against the Eagles yet, and none have even hit 30 yards even.
Rachaad White went under this line in 14 of 17 games last season, and he is 1-1 on the over of this line this year, with the over hitting in the Bears game that they were up double digits in. The Bucs will have to keep the ball in the air to have a shot today, and Rachaad White may end with more targets than carries in this game.
