T.M. Selection: Eagles/Buccaneers OVER.

I am on the over in the Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Sunday. I think there is going to be a lot of points coming from both sides in this game. The Eagles won 4 straight games to clinch a playoff spot and then lost their final game of the year by a lot to the Cowboys but the Eagles were without a lot of their starters in that game, including their QB Jalen Hurts. Even so, they were able to put up 26 points on the Cowboys, who were playing a lot of starters in that game, and they did with Gardner Minshew under center. The Eagles have looked a lot better on offense lately and they really got it figured out in their final stretch of the regular season. They put up 20+ points in 5 games in a row and that has actually been a common theme for them all year. The Buccaneers have looked really good on defense lately but they have played no one good in those games. They finished their year with wins over the Saints, Panther twice, and the Jets who they gave up 24 points to and would have lost that game if they didn't score a TD in the final minute of that game. I think the Bucs defense has looked better than it actually is due to their weak schedule lately and I think the Eagles are going to expose them a bit and move the ball well here putting up some points. The Bucs have looked very good on offense though. Even with their weak schedule, they have put up 28+ points in 3 games in a row and the Eagles have given up a lot of points on defense this year. I think the Buccaneers are going to rip through their defense and put up a ton of points in this game too. The Eagles have always put up a fight this year, even when they get blown out they never quit and still put up 20+ points despite giving up 40+ points. I think this is going to be 1 of those games so I like the over here.

T.M. Prediction: 42-24 Buccaneers.
