Rolling along at 4-1 in my NFL plays/parlays and really like this one tonight..
TAMPA BAY BUCS/PHILADELPHIA EAGLES o52.5
Think this line is at least 3-4 points light, not sure why, maybe sharps are betting it under, but I dont see this game falling below. Looking at the Bucs games, theyve scored 45, 19, 24, 48, 31 points, I am kind of tossing that ugly New England game, and the previous week in what proved to be a look ahead spot, out the window, and see Brady having no problems here tonight in Philly where itll be sunny and upper 70s (unseasonably). Brady is coming off a huge performance against what we thought was a decent Miami defense, and he clearly just looks like he can do whatever he wants against anyone not named Bill Belichick.
On the opposite side, the Eagles have feasted on average to below average defenses, while struggling against San Fran, Carolina, and a surprisingly good Dallas D. The Bucs defense has been in a rough spot with secondary issues and I can see Hurts having a good day here, needing to keep up with Brady. Theyve done well holding down teams probably because of their front 7 but I dont see why Hurts cant hang mid 20s on them while the Bucs may force this game into the 30s.
In the end I think both teams score, and we get a fairly high scoring game, after the last 3 Thursday night games have all been lower scores.
