The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 0-6 SU and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games on the road. In a makeup game of their postponed Week 1 meeting, the Buccaneers are on the road this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
Despite getting a pretty weak game from Ryan Fitzpatrick and the offense, the Tampa Bay defense willed the Buccaneers to a 15-10 victory last Sunday at home over the New York Jets. The Buccaneers held the Jets to just 275 yards of total offense and forced two turnovers in the process. The win snapped an 0-5 SU and 0-4-1 ATS slump for Tampa Bay and gave the defense some confidence heading into a favorable matchup against Miami.
The Dolphins fell to 0-3 SU and 0-2-1 ATS over their last three games with a 45-21 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. Miami has shown a bit of life on offense in recent weeks, but now the defense is struggling in allowing 35 points per game over the last four weeks. In the last five games of this head-to-head series, the Dolphins are 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS.
