Buccaneers in a Competitive NFC South Race

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are well aware of the fierce competition within their division. Currently trailing the Atlanta Falcons and holding just a half-game lead over the New Orleans Saints, the Buccaneers anticipate a hard-fought divisional race. Last season, the division winner finished with an 8-9 record.

The Buccaneers commenced their season with wins against the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears but suffered a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Following a victory over the Saints, the Buccaneers faced consecutive losses to the Detroit Lions and the Atlanta Falcons.

Offensively, Tampa Bay has struggled all season, ranking 25th in team offense with an average of 17.2 points per game. Their 13-point performance in the recent loss further exacerbated this issue. The run game has been particularly ineffective, with one of the league’s poorest ground games, averaging around 75 rushing yards per game.

Mike Evans continues to be a reliable receiver for the Buccaneers, amassing over 450 yards on the season with five touchdowns. He contributed a touchdown, six receptions, and 82 yards in the last game.

 

Bills Seeking a Turnaround

The Buffalo Bills have experienced a rollercoaster ride this season, with a loss to the Jets to kick things off, followed by a three-game winning streak. They then faced a setback in London against the Jaguars but rebounded against the Giants before suffering a recent loss to the Patriots.

Looking forward, the Bills aim to regain their momentum, starting with this matchup and a subsequent Sunday Night Football clash against the Cincinnati Bengals. They’ll return home for back-to-back games against the Broncos and Jets.

Quarterback Josh Allen of the Bills posted 265 passing yards and two touchdowns in their last game but made a costly interception. The ground attack was led by James Cook, who contributed 56 rushing yards, bringing his season total to over 400.

Stefon Diggs stands as the leading receiver for the Bills, with nearly 700 yards on the season. Buffalo’s offense ranks third in the league, averaging approximately 28 points per game.

 

TNF Buccaneers vs Bills Betting Prediction | Buffalo Gears Up for a Victory

The Buffalo Bills are determined to get back on track, and this game offers them a prime opportunity to do so. Buffalo has encountered challenges recently and must improve their performance.

Quarterback Josh Allen is pivotal in this endeavor, as he needs to minimize turnovers and enhance offensive efficiency. Look for Allen to get the ball going offensively and the Bills to start making their way back on track.

Tampa Bay, though showing promise early in the season, does not boast top-to-bottom superlative talent. Coupled with the constraints of a short week and a demanding trip up north, the Buccaneers could face challenges. The Buccaneers’ lack of run game is going to cost them again in this one.

Betting enthusiasts are encouraged to consider the Buffalo Bills with a -8.5 point spread over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Thursday Night Football.
