The Eagles vs. Buccaneers Game Prediction
The Pick: Eagles / Bucs Under 45.5
The Prop: McLaughlin o6.5 Kick pts
So, I'm leaning towards the under on this one. It's kind of funny to bet on the under when both teams are usually strong defensively, but they've been a bit shaky this season. The Eagles have some injuries, so I need to see Brown and Smith in good shape before I trust their offense. As for the Bucs, who knows what they'll bring after a disappointing game against Denver. I'm expecting a tough, low-scoring match, so I'm going with the under here.
