Why the Buccaneers can cover

The Buccaneers suffered a tough upset loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The Bucs will be back at home in this game, in a place where Todd Bowles’ team can recover well. The home underdogs have done well in the NFL so far, and Tampa Bay will be picking up points from this spot.

Aside from the loss to Denver, Baker Mayfield had been playing the best football of his career. In three games, Mayfield has thrown for 637 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed for 55 yards and a score. Tampa Bay could get a huge boost as defensive tackle Vita Vea looks set to play in Week 4. See which team you should choose here.
