The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks meet Sunday at Lumen Field in a pivotal NFC showdown between two first-place teams. Both enter the week at 3-1, making this one of the most important early-season matchups in the conference. Tampa Bay is coming off a 31-25 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a game where their offense disappeared in the second half. The Buccaneers still hold first place in the NFC South, but they’ll face major challenges on offense this week. With Irving and Evans both ruled out, quarterback Baker Mayfield will be forced to shoulder more of the workload against one of the league’s best defensive units.
Seattle enters this game riding the momentum of a 23-20 win over Arizona. The Seahawks currently lead the NFC West and have been one of the most balanced teams in the league so far. Offensively, they rank sixth in scoring at 27.8 points per game, and defensively, they’re second in the NFL, giving up just 16.8 points per contest. That balance has been the key to their early success, with the team showing an ability to both control the clock and limit explosive plays.

Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction
This matchup will likely hinge on whether Tampa Bay can find rhythm through the air. Mayfield will need to rely on quick passes and his secondary receivers to keep drives alive, as Seattle’s front seven has been tough on both the run and intermediate passing lanes. The Buccaneers’ defense has been inconsistent, and if they can’t generate pressure or tighten coverage, Seattle should be able to move the ball effectively.
Historically, Tampa Bay has had some success in this series, winning five of the last seven meetings, including a 21-16 victory in 2022. However, the Seahawks have dominated at home, going 3-1 in their last four in Seattle and outscoring opponents by an average of 11 points per game this season. With home-field advantage, better health, and stronger overall balance, Seattle is the clear favorite to take control early and stay ahead. Our prediction for Seattle Seahawks vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Over 45.5 points.
