NFL Preview: Baltimore Ravens vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions and Review

The Ravens limping into this matchup vs the Buccaneers after a heart
breaking loss to the Indianapolis Colts after leading in the third
quarter. The Buccaneers on the other foot posted a loss to the New
Orleans Saints after not being able to withhold the offensive explosion
provided from the Saints. This is a must win for both teams and within
this review I will provide predictions and analysis related to the game.


For A Baltimore Ravens Victory


The Ravens need to get back into team status mode after the loss
against the Colts. The 3 and 2 Ravens needs to continue attacking the
questionable defense against the Buccaneers currently operate on. If the
Ravens can continue to win the time of possession and keep a steady
running game they should win this matchup.


For A Tampa Bay Buccaneers Victory


Tampa Bay will need to play tough nose football and win the turnover
ratio in this game. If the defense can contain Joe Flacco from running
around in the pocket and contain him to reasonable attempts they have a
great chance on pulling out a victory.


Game time Info


On Sunday at 1 Pm Eastern time the game may be viewed on CBS or
locally in Tampa Bay. The weather is predicted to be around 88 degrees
with a small chance of occasional rain.


Baltimore Ravens vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction


These kind of matchups are what sports prediction handicappers like
myself thrive on. Although on paper the game appears to be one sided I
tend to think the opposite in this particular matchup. Take the 1 and 4
buccaneers and the +3 against the Ravens. The Buccaneers are not a low
caliber team they just need time to fix the mess they put themselves in.
I specialize in matchups like this and see extreme value in the +3 line
offered from the bookmakers. This a particular field of study I
maximize myself in and confident of such win.

NFL Preview: Baltimore Ravens vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions and Review

BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 3– Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons – Thursday, Sept.18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons – Thursday, Sept.18


BetAnySports’ Current Line: Falcons -6 1/2 and the total is 44 1/2


Thursday Night Football in Week 3 of the new NFL season features a
NFC South showdown between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta
Falcons. Each is trying to get back to its winning ways after suffering a
setback this past Sunday. BetAnySports has opened the Falcons as
six-point home favorites on its initial NFL betting odds and the total
for the game is 44 1/2.


Tampa Bay is actually still looking for its first win of the year
after losing to Carolina 20-14 on opening day as a five-point home
favorite. The Buccaneers followed this up with a tough 19-17 loss to St.
Louis at home as 4.5-point favorites at home. This extended their
current losing streak to five games straight-up and they are also 0-5
against the spread in their last five outings.


Lovie Smith took over the helm as Tampa Bay’s new head coach this
season, but many of the same old problems with this offense continue to
rear their ugly head. The Buccaneers were ranked 30th in the league last
season in scoring with an average of 18 points a game and they have yet
to even hit that total this year. This is putting some tremendous
pressure on a defense that has already been on the field way too long.


The Falcons were the darlings of the NFC South in Week 1 with a
stunning 37-34 overtime victory over New Orleans as three-point home
underdogs. They went on the road this past Sunday as 5.5-point underdogs
against Cincinnati and looked the part with a 24-10 loss. This
Thursday’s game now becomes a crucial test for a team that went 13-3 SU
in 2012 only to fall to 4-12 last year.


Matt Ryan continues to throw the ball all over the field with an
NFL-high 679 passing yards, but this past Sunday against the Bengals he
only completed 54.5 percent of his 44 attempts and he was picked-off
three times. Atlanta struggled to run the ball with Steven Jackson
leading the way with just 46 yards on 11 carries and the offense only
managed 309 total yards after piling-up 568 yards against the Saints.


Both teams obviously had their problems last Sunday, but Tampa Bay
looks like its issues are going to drag for a few more games at the
least. Stick with Atlanta to bounce back with a big win at home that
easily covers BetAnySports’ six-point spread.
