Tips, Predictions and Best Bets: Eagles vs. Buccaneers – NFL Week 4

The Philadelphia Eagles travel south to Florida and face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon in a battle between two 2-1 teams.

Find out why my Eagles vs. Buccaneers predictions count on Saquon Barkley to continue to be the Birds’ star in Tampa Bay in my top Week 4 NFL picks for Sunday, September 29th.

Eagles vs Buccaneers Prediction

My best choice
Saquon Barkley Over 75.5 Rushing Yards (-120 at BetMGM)

My analysis
The Philadelphia Eagles folded this offseason and signed former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley from their division rival. That move paid off early, as the star RB racked up 351 yards on 63 carries (5.6 yards per carry) and four touchdowns to boot.

Barkley was a consistent part of the Eagles’ offensive attack early in the season and showed off his explosiveness with a 65-yard score last week in New Orleans. He has now rushed for 95-plus yards in all three games, including 109 in Week 1 and 147 last week.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense hasn’t been too good against the run this season, allowing 413 yards on the ground so far (137.7 per game). While only Jahmyr Gibbs broke that mark of over 75.5 in Week 2, Broncos RB Tyler Badie ran for 70 yards on just nine carries last week.

The weather forecast in Tampa Bay is also worth noting. As Hurricane Heline causes devastating damage in the south, thunderstorms are expected on Sunday afternoon. When that’s the case, passing the ball becomes a little more difficult, leading to even more Barkley carries.

Eagles vs. Buccaneers, same game play

The Eagles would be undefeated if a few different decisions hadn’t been made in their loss to the Falcons. While the Bucs are also 2-1, they are six-point favorites and are coming off a tough loss to the Broncos.

The weather forecast suggests it will be a sloppy game, meaning it will be a low-scoring affair. Support the Birds and the Under 42.5 in Tampa Bay.
