Prediction published on 9/22/24, 9:34 AM  by Lou Aguila in NFL Picks

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) will go for a 3-0 record against the Denver Broncos (0-2) who are still searching for their first win with new quarterback Bo Nix. The Buccaneers proved that they one of the teams to watch out this season after winning their first two games against the Washington Commanders 37-20 and Detroit Lions 20-16. Despite being sacked five times in the game against the Lions, Bucs’ quarterback Baker Mayfield has done a good job so far, passing for 474 yards on a 73.5 percent passing percentage with four touchdowns and one interception. Tampa Bay ranks fourth in points per game (28.5 points) and sixth in points allowed per game (18.0). The Broncos enter week 3 of the post-Russell Wilson era still winless after falling to the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 and Pittsburgh Steelers 13-6. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix hasn’t scored a passing touchdown yet in two games and has already thrown four interceptions with a 35.7 quarterback rating (27th in the NFL). After two weeks, Denver has the lowest points per game in the league at 13.0 ppg and fourth lowest rushing yards per game at 81.5 yards.
