The Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) on Monday Night Football. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium is set for 7:15 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we Analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Eagles vs. Buccaneers odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Any concerns Philly fans had regarding QB Jalen Hurts can be dismissed' after he scored 2 rushing TDs in their 34-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the Week 2 Thursday game. While the connection with WR A.J. Brown has not been as effective this season (11 catches, 108 yards, 0 TDs), Hurts is still clicking with WR DeVonta Smith (11 catches, 178 yards, 2 TDs).
While 178 yards for Smith is solid in 2 games, it is only 7 yards more than Tampa Bay WR Mike Evans had last Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Evans finished with 171 yards and 1 TD on 6 catches as the Buccaneers topped the Bears 27-17 and covered as a 2.5-point home favorites.
Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, who has rejuvenated himself this season, has thrown for 490 yards and 3 TDs in 2 games. While these came against terrible defenses in Chicago and Minnesota, he is starting to remind people' why the Cleveland Browns picked him No. 1 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
