Thus far, Mayfield has thrown for 3315 yards while making 466 attempts. His completion rate for the season is 63.5%, and he holds a passer rating of 94.7. Even though Mayfield put together an awesome game last week, I don’t see him following that up and like the under at 235.5 passing yards.

Buccaneers VS. Jaguars Predictions
Regarding the point spread lines, there has been some movement. Initially, Jacksonville opened as the 2.5-point favorite. However, the current favorite is Tampa Bay with a spread of 3.
Jacksonville’s secondary did a good job limiting Baltimore’s passing game in their previous game. Despite being 3-point underdogs on the road, I’m confident in their ability to cover against Tampa Bay.
