Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
Entering the season, few people would have it on their bingo card that the Buccaneers would be undefeated after two weeks.
This organization did not know who would be their starting quarterback early in the summer, and now here they are with an opportunity to sit at the top of the NFL standings with a win.
Veteran signal-caller Baker Mayfield has shown flashes of his former Heisman days at Oklahoma this season. Mayfield has done many good things for the Bucs, but none as important as taking care of the football.
The Bucs are the only team in the NFL that does not have a turnover thus far.
Mayfield gets to work with two of the game's best wide receivers, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Evans and Godwin enter play with north of 100 receiving yards each.
The biggest surprise, perhaps, is how solid the Bucs have been on defense. This is a roster that has had a lot of turnover since they won the Super Bowl a couple of seasons ago, but early on, this looks like a potential top-ten defense.
The Eagles are 2-0 but listen to the local radio in Philly, and you would think this team is 0-2.
That’s what happens when you have sky-high expectations and are not playing up to the standard that people have seen in the past.
Philly looked sluggish on offense in Week 1 against New England but looked much better in their win over the Vikings, dropping 31 points.
Jalen Hurts is viewed as a serious MVP candidate and showed why a week ago by rushing for a pair of touchdowns while throwing for one.
Wide receiver AJ Brown voiced his displeasure with Hurts on the sideline a week ago. Brown has been involved in the Eagles offense, catching eleven passes for 108 yards, but he has been held out of the end zone.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Player Prop Pick
This is the perfect spot for Brown to shine tonight.
It is clear that the number one target was not happy in Week 2, which means he will be more involved in the Eagles offense tonight.
Brown does lead the team in targets with 16.
Additionally, Brown played in 96% of the Eagles' snaps in Week 2.
The bottom line is the guy is always on the field and always poses the threat of going deep.
The Bucs gave up 150 yards in Week 1 to Justin Jefferson and 104 yards in Week 2 against Chicago Bears No. 1 DJ Moore.
