Eagles vs Buccaneers Guest Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
PHI Eagles -3.5(-110)

The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles pulled off a massive comeback last Sunday, erasing a 26-7 deficit to stun the Rams, 33-26, to improve to 3-0. Philadelphia travels to Tampa on Sunday to face the 3-0 Buccaneers, who needed a last-second field goal to fend off the Jets, 29-27. It marked the 3rd straight week that Tampa Bay took the lead after trailing in the final minute of regulation. The Bucs will be without Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans, who is sidelined for nearly a month with a hamstring injury. Tampa Bay led New York 23-6 heading into the 4th quarter before the Jets outscored the Bucs 21-3 to take a 27-26 lead on a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown.

The Eagles were also involved in a late blocked field goal, denying the Rams the road victory, along with grabbing a miracle cover as 3.5-point favorites after returning that block for a touchdown as time expired. Looking ahead to Sunday, the Eagles try to avenge a pair of losses at Raymond James Stadium over the last two seasons. The first loss came in the Wild Card round to close out the 2023 season, an ugly 32-9 setback as 3-point favorites.

Tampa Bay punked Philadelphia again last September in a 33-16 beatdown, outgaining the Eagles 445-227 in the yardage department. The Eagles played without their top two receivers as AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith were both injured. Since that wake-up call, the Eagles have won 19 of their last 20 games and the only loss came when QB Jalen Hurts got knocked out in the first quarter of a last-minute defeat to the Commanders last December. Philadelphia is 14-6 against the spread in this span. The Bucs finished 0-3 last season in the games Evans missed due to a hamstring injury. Tampa Bay is 13-4 in its past 17 regular-season games with their top wideout in the lineup since the beginning of the 2024 campaign. Philadelphia should have plenty of motivation for the last 2 visits to Tampa and getting boat-raced by the Bucs.

Game Totals Pick
Over 43.5(-110)

Philadelphia finished Under the total in each of the first 2 games, which included holding Kansas City to 17 points in their Super Bowl rematch in Week 2. Last week, the Eagles cashed their first Over of the season against the Rams, as the teams combined for 57 points on a 45.5 total. That was the lowest total that Philadelphia saw in 3 games following a pair of 47.5 totals in the first 2 weeks.

The Buccaneers also went through the same total journey the first 3 games. Tampa Bay finished Under in the 2 road victories at Atlanta and Houston. The opener had a chance at sneaking past the Over if the Falcons didn’t miss the game-tying field goal at the end of regulation. The Texans game seemed to be destined for the Over of 42.5 early on as Houston led 10-7 after the opening 15 minutes. The 2 teams combined for 16 points in the next nearly 45 minutes before the Bucs scored the go-ahead touchdown with 6 seconds remaining and the game stayed Under the total in a 20-19 victory. Last Sunday’s wild game against the Jets felt like an Under headed to the 4th quarter as Tampa Bay led 23-6 on a 43 total. However, the teams combined for 27 points to easily eclipse the Over, marking the 7th Over in the past 10 regular-season home games for the Buccaneers.

These teams have met 3 times since the start of the 2023 season. Philadelphia took care of Tampa Bay at home, 25-11, to remain Under the total of 44 in September 2023. In the Wild Card matchup a few months later, the Bucs routed the Eagles, 32-9, and another Under hit, this time of 43 points. In last season’s blowout by the Bucs, the Over cashed in the 3rd quarter as Tampa Bay won going away, 33-16 on a 43 total. In the 3 games Mike Evans missed due to injury last season, the Bucs actually hit the Over in 2 of those contests as Tampa Bay scored at least 20 points in each game.

Eagles vs Bucs pick: Over 43.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 44.5.
