Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in one of the top NFC clashes on the Week 4 NFL schedule.

The visitors will have revenge on their mind as this is a repeat of their Wild Card round meeting in last season's playoffs, when a slumping Eagles team was dispatched 32-9 by the Bucs.

Both teams are coming in with a 2-1 record and the Bucs will be looking to extend a strong run in this matchup which has seen them win five of the teams' last six meetings.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers betting picks and predictions

Eagles -2.5 (-110)

The Eagles are favorites for this game and that looks justified given the strong start they have made to the new season.

Head coach Nick Sirianni needed to see something from his side after their awful slump in the second half of last season, which saw them finish the 2023 regular season with an 11-6 record after making a dominant 10-1 start.

Their last campaign came to a sorry conclusion with a tame 23-point loss to the Bucs in their first playoff game, but they have looked rejuvenated by the addition of running back Saquon Barkley this season.

Philadelphia opened the campaign with a Friday night win over the Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and looked well on their way to a 2-0 start at home to Atlanta on Monday Night Football in Week 2, before giving up a final-drive touchdown to the Falcons to lose 22-21.

They bounced back strongly by ending the Saints' unbeaten start with a tough 15-12 road win and they should be in a confident mood as they continue their tour of the NFC South on Sunday.

Barkley already has 404 rushing and receiving yards and five TDs for his new team.

The big issue for the Eagles this week is injuries at wide receiver, with AJ Brown having missed the last two games with a hamstring problem and DeVonta Smith suffering a concussion against the Saints, while Britain Covey suffered a shoulder injury.

That could lead to a bigger role for offseason recruit Jahan Dotson, while tight end Dallas Goedert stepped up in a major way after Smith was injured last Sunday and finished with 10 receptions for 170 yards.

The Bucs started off strong with wins over the Commanders and Lions, but were stunned 26-7 at home by the previously winless Broncos on Sunday.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield has been sacked 12 times in their last two games and he could be in trouble again behind a questionable offensive line.

All three Eagles games this season have been decided by five or fewer points, but they should be able to win this contest by at least a field goal.

Time of first touchdown - Score on or after 9:00 elapsed (-120)

The Eagles and Bucs are in the middle of the pack in terms of points allowed per game, with each giving up just over 20 points per outing so far.

However, both have been improving defensively and it may take some time for a touchdown to be scored at Raymond James Stadium.

No touchdowns have been scored in the first quarter of any of the Eagles' three games and the first six-point score of their game against the Saints didn't arrive until the fourth quarter.

The Bucs have been similarly solid to start their games. Even though 57 points were scored in their match-up with the Commanders, the first quarter produced just two field goals. 

The first TD came in the second quarter of their clash with the Lions, although they did allow an early score to Broncos QB Bo Nix on Sunday.

Taking under 7.5 points in the first quarter is an option to consider, but preference is to back there to be no touchdowns in the first nine minutes of the game.
