Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New York Jets Prediction
The Bucs should have an easier time stomping their class on the Jets, who are among the worst defensive teams heading into the third week of the NFL season. Tampa Bay ranks No.1 in covering yards via air and on the ground. Although they have been tested in their first two games, expect this team to put up a much better offensive performance in week 3, with quarterback Baker Mayfield silently putting up another Pro Bowl-worthy year in his third season with Tampa Bay. New York will also miss their starting quarterback, Justin Fields, who suffered a concussion in the loss against the Buffalo Bills, further compounding their problems.
Fearless Forecast: Tampa Bay will storm to a strong start en route to a massive win over the Jets. Tampa Bay 35, NY Jets 19.
Our betting prediction for Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the New York Jets: the Buccaneers -6.5 points.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
