Baltimore Ravens at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Final Betting Prediction
Baltimore fought hard to beat the Cleveland Browns. But although the Ravens didn’t cover in the 23-20 victory, we shouldn’t read too much into the game.
Ravens versus Browns is always a tough game for both sides. Tampa Bay scored 3 points against the Carolina Panthers in their last contest, a 21-3 loss.
3 points is terrible. The Bucs scored 18 the week before in a 20-18 loss. Yes, Tampa is better at home, but even at home, the Buccaneers have so many issues it’s difficult seeing them keeping it closer than the 1.5 points spread.
In addition, the Bucs will be without 4 starters: left guard Luke Goedeke, safety Antoine Winfield Jr., cornerback Carlton Davis, and tight end Cameron Brate. Expect Lamar to run wild in this one. Baltimore wins and covers.
NFL Week 8 Pick: Baltimore Ravens -1.5
