• Bucs on money downs. Tampa Bay’s defense owns a 68.6% third-down stop rate (91st percentile), a key lever against a strong Eagles offense.

• Bucs can rip runs. Tampa Bay posts an 8.0% explosive run rate (91%; sample 87), while Philly allows explosive runs at 4.3% (42%; sample 47).

• Eagles sustain drives. Philly has a 100% long-drive efficiency so far (89%; small sample 8) and runs no-huddle on 18.5% of snaps (94%), stressing tired defenses.

• Pass-rush picture favors TB protection. Philly generates sacks on just 3.1% of dropbacks (16%; sample 65). That can help a banged-up Bucs line if Wirfs plays.

• Red-zone tug-of-war. Eagles offense is perfect in the red zone (small sample), while the Bucs defense has allowed TDs on only 42.9% of red-zone trips (78%; sample 7).

• Target tree shift for PHI. With Goedert Out, WR usage should rise. That pairs with Philly’s moderate explosive pass rate but strong third-down conversion (43.9%; 78%).

• Anchor spread: Eagles -3.5 (-120). Price says Philly by a field goal plus the hook. Extra juice tightens margin for error.

• Anchor total: 45.0 (Over -106, Under -127). Market leans Under with heavier juice, matching Tampa Bay’s third-down defense.

• Moneyline: Eagles -213 / Buccaneers +150. Implies Philly advantage but leaves room for late-game swings.

• Team totals: Eagles 24.0 (Over -115, Under -123); Bucs 20.0 (Over -112, Under -127). Split points to a medium-scoring script.

• Jalen Hurts anytime TD (-141): Philly is 100% in the red zone to date (small sample). Hurts’ goal-line role supports the price, but the juice is real.

• A.J. Brown over 65.5 yards (-119): Goedert Out funnels targets; TB’s low turnover rate (0.6%) helps drives reach volume.

• DeVonta Smith over 47.5 yards (-119): No-huddle rate of 18.5% boosts play count, aiding a second WR over.

• Bucky Irving over 60.5 rushing (-122): Tampa Bay’s run game ranks highly in explosive rate. Note OL and RB injury tags create variance.

This looks like a field position and situational game. Tampa Bay’s defense excels on third down, and that can slow Philly’s tempo. The counter is the Eagles’ ability to sustain long drives and finish in the red zone.

Offense for Tampa Bay may flow through the ground first. The Bucs have produced chunk runs, and Philly’s pass rush has not closed drives with sacks. Health is the hinge. If Tristan Wirfs and Chris Godwin are active, Tampa Bay’s floor rises. If Mike Evans sits, the vertical bite drops.

The market sits near Eagles -3.5 with a total around 45. That matches a controlled pace with a few big moments. Props tied to Philadelphia’s WRs fit the injury picture, but watch the board for late status moves.

Bet with price discipline. Several options carry notable juice, which cuts value. For any play tied to Questionable or Doubtful tags, expect variance and be ready to pass if the number moves against you.
