  • Two unbeaten NFC teams will meet in Tampa Bay on Monday night when the Buccaneers (2-0 straight up, 2-0 against the spread) host the Philadelphia Eagles (2-0, 1-0-1) as solid home underdogs.

    The Buccaneers are coming off two straight wins and covers over NFC North opponents in the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears while the defending NFC champion Eagles will have extra rest going into this one following a 34-28 victory against the Vikings as six-point home favorites in the Week 2 Thursday Night Football matchup.

    Latest Betting Notes: Eagles

    Philadelphia is happy to be 2-0 again this season but has not looked like a Super Bowl participant from last year so far, with former NFL MVP candidate Jalen Hurts not looking nearly as proficient as a passer. Heading into last season, that was the biggest knock on Hurts, who thrived with a new No. 1 receiver in A.J. Brown.

    This year, Brown has been limited to 11 catches for 108 yards with no touchdowns through the first two games compared to 15 for 224 a season ago. Granted, he did not score his first touchdown in 2022 until Week 3 and then had five more in the next five games, so it is definitely not time to panic. It is worth noting that second-year pro DeVonta Smith has 11 catches for 178 yards in the first two games with two touchdowns, giving the Eagles a great tandem.

    Latest Betting Notes: Buccaneers

    The Baker Mayfield experiment has gone fantastic in Tampa through the first two weeks, and all the naysayers have to do is look at the team’s record to understand that he has been an effective replacement for retired future Hall of Famer Tom Brady so far. Of course that is not to say things could change quickly regarding his prospects, starting as soon as this week versus the Eagles.

    Defensively, the Buccaneers have played well enough to give Mayfield a chance to succeed, and he has seized the moment in each of the first two games. Most importantly, he has kept wide receiver Mike Evans engaged enough to be a difference maker with 12 catches on 18 targets for 237 yards and two touchdowns.

    The Keys to Victory: Eagles

    This will be the best defense Philadelphia has played in the first three weeks, so fans and bettors alike will get to see if there has truly been regression with the offense. Keep in mind, the Eagles forced new running back D’Andre Swift into action last week, and he responded with 175 rushing yards on 28 carries with Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) out.

    If Gainwell returns, the offensive backfield will be even stronger. Regardless, Hurts will have something to prove in this spot that he is still the same player he was a year ago. 

    The Keys to Victory: Buccaneers

    Tampa Bay – and especially Mayfield – will get an excellent opportunity to make a serious statement on national television here. The Philadelphia defense does not the same as it was last season, particularly in the secondary, surrendering an average of 340 passing yards to New England’s Mac Jones and Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins the first two weeks.

    Mayfield could become the third consecutive 300-yard passer against the Eagles, and it may take that kind of performance for the Bucs to cover the spread and possibly win.
