Betting on NFL Week 3 Between Packers at Buccaneers
Tampa Bay has played well defensively, giving up 6.5 points per game. They gave up 10 points in their last game and will need to keep it up if they want to get the win.
The Buccaneers are favored to win this game by 2.5 points. The over/under on total points scored is 41.
The Packers are off to a slow start offensively, largely because Rodgers has been forced to use his running backs as receivers more than he would like to due to the lack of depth at the position, which has also forced them to run the ball more. Unfortunately for tem, the Buccaneers have one of the best run defenses in the league and they’re also holding opposing quarterbacks under yards, and won’t have trouble slowing down the Packers, who managed only seven points in their first road game. The Buccaneers have also struggled offensively and will miss Evans in this game. But, they’ve done well moving the ball on the ground and they’re facing one of the worst run defenses in the league, so expect them to pound the ball on the ground and pick up the win. Go with Tampa Bay -2.5 and the under.
