Swashbuckling Baker: The Buccaneers, led by the fascinating Baker Mayfield, are a formidable force. Their offense, notably Mike Evans, has been wreaking havoc on defenses. The Bucs will aim to exploit the Eagles’ sparring defensive vulnerabilities while maintaining an overwhelming defense to keep the Eagles’ offense at bay.
Prediction: The Eagles, with their star-studded lineup and excellent form, are the clear favorites for this game. However, an upset is not out of the question if the Buccaneers can deliver a robust defensive performance and Mayfield can rise to the occasion. The Bucs hang in games and capitalize when desperate.
Bold Prediction: Devonta Smith has a day, eight catches, 100+ yards and a TD. The Bucs lose but hang in enough to cover the spread. They prove to the Eagles and the rest of the NFL that they are a playoff contender in 2023.
