The Eagles have started the season with two straight wins and find themselves 2nd in the NFC East. Going into week 3, they’ve played one game at home and one on the road. The Eagles have put together a record of 1-0-1 against the spread. This mark has come on an average scoring margin of +5.5.

Taking a look at their latest game, the Eagles defeated the Vikings by a score of 34-28. When it comes to the point spread, the Eagles were favored by 6, resulting in an ATS push. Totaling 62 points alongside Minnesota, the game’s point total exceeded the set over/under line of 49.

Versus the Vikings, the Eagles turned to the run 48 times, and it was D’Andre Swift who led the way with 175 yards. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts finished with 23 pass attempts, resulting in 193 yards and a passer rating of 98.

When it comes to yards allowed, the Eagles rank 26th in the league, conceding an average of 378.0 yards per contest. Philadelphia’s defense has allowed 24 points per game, which has them 14th in the NFL.

Is a Home Win Possible for the Buccaneers?

In the NFC South standings, the Buccaneers are in 3rd place with a record of 2-0. Within the NFC, Tampa Bay is 6th, heading into week 3. When it comes to the spread, the Buccaneers have a 2-0 record. Heading into week 3, their scoring margin is at +6.5 (per game).

After a 27-17 victory over the Bears, the Buccaneers are looking for another win in week 3. The Buccaneers were able to cover the spread vs. Chicago, as they went into the game favored by 2.5. With the over/under line set at 40.5 points, the over hit with a combined 44 points.

Tampa Bay’s offense finished with 437 yards of total offense vs. the Bears. On third down, the Buccaneers converted at a rate of 53.3%. Rachaad White was the Buccaneers’ top rusher with 73 yards while Baker Mayfield threw for 317 yards.

Buccaneers vs. Eagles Predictions

After starting as the 6-point road favorites, Philadelphia is still in the favored position, although the lines have shifted to -5.

Tampa Bay comes in with a strong passing offense so far at 243 yards per game, and the Eagles have a banged-up secondary that has been vulnerable through their air across two contests.

I expect the Bucs to keep this one closer than expected at home, and there’s also a chance that they grab a late touchdown for the backdoor cover. Let’s take Tampa Bay against the spread at +5.
