Our Best Bet for Thursday Night Football: Baltimore Ravens vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Just what Tom Brady needs right now, more spotlight. The Brady marriage, and his Bucs offense seem shaky. The Bucs are coming off pretty poor back-to-back losses as double-digit favorites. Is there anything to suggest they can turn it around against the Lamar Jackson led Baltimore Ravens? Let’s take deep dive into the game, and give you our suggested bet for the night.
The early Bucs Moneyline opened back on the 18th of October with them as pretty heavy favourites at -165. This has drifted out following their struggles in the last two weeks. But has firmed again in the last week from +105 into -120 in the last two days.
The Ravens have been far from impressive themselves. They managed to get a win last week against the Browns, but have not covered the spread in the last three games.
So what is the cause of each of these team’s woes? We don’t think the Bucs issues stem from Brady. He’s not the Tom from 10 years ago, but he is still 11th in pass offense. He’s also 16th in completion percentage. Hardly terrible. The issues have in fact stemmed from their rushing offense. They’re the worst in the league.
The Ravens issues have come from their defence. They’re in the bottom 10 in both run and pass defence. They are also not getting enough pressure on the QB, as they are 26th in pressure.
We think this game is going to play out with the Bucs focusing on their passing game, and the exposing the Ravens defensive issues. What’s making us more confident is sharp bettor Rick Bob (42-27 and 15% ROI) is taking them at the Moneyline.
Recommended Pick: Bucs Moneyline
