Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Regular Season record: 3-2.
- Spread: -8.
- Moneyline: -360.
- Over/Under: 44
Of their last five games, the Buccaneers team lost only two (41-31 to the Kansas City Chiefs and 14-12 to the Green Bay Packers), and are coming from a 21-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons. In that game Tom Brady shined with 351 passing yards; while Leonard Fournette ran the most (56 yards).
Among the team’s statistics, they have an average of 20.6 scored points and 16.6 received points per game, while totaling 347.8 yards and 332.6 yards allowed. Looking ahead to next Sunday’s clash, we think the offensive line will have a feast on the Pittsburgh defense.
Betting on the Pittsburgh Steelers
- Regular Season record: 1-4.
- Spread: +8.
- Moneyline: +295.
- Over/Under: 44
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in really bad shape. Not only had the Steelers managed just one win in their last five games (in the season opener 23-20 against Cincinnati Bengals), but also they are coming from a 38-3 defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills, which was the organization’s worst loss in 30 years.
The numbers are not good at all: they average 6.1 yards per attempt, second worst in the league; they scored only two touchdowns through the air, the fewest in the NFL; and they average only 3.9 yards per carry, with none over 20 yards, which is among the worst in the country.
Finally, and very alarmingly, they are allowing 7.5 yards per pass attempt and 1,438 air yards, the second highest figure in the NFL. Heading into the game against Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay, head coach Mike Tomlim was clear:
We are not going to get better just with a couple of good days, but with a good plan or with a good performance.
JefeBet Prediction
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the favorutes for this game, and we could even venture to imagine an outstanding performance by Tom Brady. Also, the Steelers offer a lot of scoring opportunities, and if they don’t improve during the week’s practices, the record that waited 30 years to be broken could get broken again just one week later.
Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers win and cover the spread.
