Eagles Game Sunday: Eagles vs Buccaneers odds and prediction for NFL Wild Card Game
It’s almost go time. Say what you want about the Philadelphia Eagles‘ schedule. Feel free to toss a little banter back and forth about what some are calling a statement win by the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18 (yes, we’re discussing that blowout win over the Eagles reserves).
Sure, it can’t be ignored that each of the Birds’ nine wins came in games versus some less-than-elite competition, but this is the playoffs. None of that matters now.
The scene is different. So are some of the players. The opposing quarterback is familiar. The stakes aren’t quite as high as they were when Philadelphia last faced Tom Brady in a postseason game, but we know how that turned out.
The Eagles are again the underdogs. Something tells us that they’ll be barking. Let’s talk about some gameday odds and toss a prediction out there.
Eagles versus Buccaneers Odds, Wild Card Round
According to WYNNBet’s Wild Card Round betting odds, the Buccaneers are favored by seven points. That’s a bit excessive, but in all honesty, it’s also fair.
We’re talking about a road game versus the defending Super Bowl Champions in their home stadium which is ironically the same stadium that they won it all in.
The moneyline for Philadelphia is +270 compared to -340 for Tampa Bay. The over/under is currently at 46.5 points.
Eagles versus Buccaneers Predictions, Wild Card Round
We won’t waste too much of your time here. If you think you’re getting a prediction that ends in ‘Tampa Bay wins’, then, you can forget it.
Throw reason out. Throw theory out. We expect Jalen Hurts to be at his best. We expect the full complement of Eagles’ running backs to play.
With that being said, we expect the Birds to slide by the Bucs using a ball-control offense that ensures they have a chance to win late. Philly wins this one with a last-second field goal courtesy of Jake Elliott.
He’s been solid all year. He deserves to be the hero. Prediction: Eagles 27, Buccaneers 24
