Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers have gradually rediscovered their winning ways, and after two straight victories, they are currently in first place in the unimpressive NFC South.
Tampa Bay comes into this game well rested after its best ground performance of the season, rushing for 161 yards against the Seahawks in Germany. That’s good news for an offense that depends solely and exclusively on what Tom Brady does, being last in total yards on the ground (707) and average yards per carry (3.1). This is one of the reasons why this season they have exceeded 22 points only once.
On the defensive side, things are getting better. The Buccaneers have one of the strongest defenses in the league and rank eighth in fewest points allowed with 180. They concede just 5.0 yards per play to their opponents, are fourth in fewest first downs conceded with 174 and the secondary has done a very good job of conceding 5.4 net yards per pass.
Betting on the Cleveland Browns
The Browns’ situation is quite delicate after two consecutive losses and a very difficult matchup against the Buccaneers, who are on the rise.
Cleveland’s defense was vastly outplayed by the Dolphins and Bills offense, and now they will have to measure themselves against the always dangerous Tom Brady. With 269 points allowed, the Browns rank fifth highest in the category. Meanwhile, they average 6.6 net yards per pass allowed, the ninth-highest figure in the league. The fact that the Browns have given up 16 rushing touchdowns, third-most in the league, will also benefit Tampa Bay.
On the offensive side, they haven’t been able to achieve much consistency either, and while waiting for the possible debut of Deshaun Watson next week, this Sunday they will face a tough obstacle against the Bucs. Despite ranking in the top ten in several important offensive categories, 14 turnovers and defensive issues have been the thorn in their side.
JefeBet Prediction
The Buccaneers appear to have moved past their season’s most challenging period and have displayed their strong play in the last two games, which bodes well for a potential postseason run. They have a 2-2 record when playing on the road, but they will play this Sunday after a week of rest.
For their part, the Browns will be returning home, where they have a 2-3 record, to try to improve their record before Watson’s return. They will have to face a fairly complete Tampa Bay team that has a 4-1 record betting against the spread in their previous five meetings, which is a problem.
Prediction: Buccaneers Spread (TB 24 – CLE 20).
