Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

I asked before the season and I ask it now; Are we sure the Philadelphia Eagles are good? The Eagles finished last season losing six of their final seven games, ending in a playoff loss to those same Buccaneers. Despite winning two of their first three games, the Eagles could easily be winless this season, Hurts is a godsend and the defense is a train wreck.

The Buccaneers suffered an ugly loss of their own, but they showed better in three games, playing 10 of their 14 games as underdogs. Seven of those covers were outright victories. Give me the Bucs and the points at home.
