Jeremy Cluff writes: "The Eagles beat the Buccaneers in Week 3 in Tampa, 25-11, but something tells us the result could be different this time around. Philadelphia has lost five of its last six games and looks lost on defense. Tampa Bay's offense and Baker Mayfield can upset the defending NFC champions."

Bill Speros writes: "These two teams are reeling on offense. The Eagles fell apart during the final third of the season. The post-Super-Bowl loss hangover finally caught up with Jalen Hurts and his showing-signs-of-age offensive line. Today, Jalen hurts. He was benched with a hand injury in a Week 18 humiliation delivered by the Giants. The Buccaneers rode their defense and kicker Chase McLaughlin to a third straight NFC South title, beating Carolina 9-0 in Week 18 to clinch it. The banged up Baker Mayfield had a solid season and should be healed by kickoff. There's no Curse of Tom Brady over Tampa Bay. The Eagles finished 6-8-3 ATS, failing to cover in their past 6 games. Philly's defense was 31st against the pass this season. Tampa Bay's defense was 29th. An offensive shootout? Don't be surprised. McLaughlin could prove to be the difference."

Brian Blewis writes: "Their defense is a complete disaster right now, and their offense is far from capable of carrying this team. Even after failing to score a touchdown against the lowly Carolina Panthers, this still sets up as a get-right spot for this Buccaneers offense."
