Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Baltimore Ravens
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Baltimore Ravens is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Buccaneers hosting the AFC Ravens. Baltimore Ravens are favored at 62% (BAL -1.5), yet Tampa Bay Buccaneers's 38% says this is no walkover.
Tactically, Tampa Bay Buccaneers will want to lean on disciplined defense to attack Baltimore Ravens, whose pass-rush depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Baltimore Ravens's record-setting rushing could punish Tampa Bay Buccaneers if run defense goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Todd Bowles and John Harbaugh, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Baker Mayfield (QB) and Lamar Jackson (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Buccaneers get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
