Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL Betting Analysis
Coming off a 34-23 non-conference loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Buccaneers will look to get back in the win column vs Arizona. Tampa Bay entered the game as 3.0-point underdog on the spread. Going into the game, the over-under total was set at 47 points, which the teams surpassed. The Buccaneers were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Cincinnati by a score of 20-17 heading into the final quarter. Through 14 games, the Buccaneers have an ATS record of 3-10-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 4-10. This week's betting total of 41.0 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Buccaneers' offense is averaging 17.6 points per game, placing them 28th in the NFL. However, look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Cardinals defense ranked 32nd in points per game. Throughout the game, Tampa Bay should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 4th ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense allowing 237.6 yards per game vs the pass. So far, the Buccaneers are averaging just 74.3 yards per game in the running game.
Arizona Cardinals - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 16, the Arizona Cardinals are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Broncos by a score of 24-15, giving them a loss over a non-conference win. With the loss, Arizona also failed to cover the spread, as they were 2.0 underdogs. The teams combined for a total of 39 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 37. The Cardinals were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Denver by a score of 10-9 heading into the final quarter. Through 14 games, the Cardinals have an ATS record of 6-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-5-1. This week's betting total of 41.0 is lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Cardinals' offense is averaging 20.9 points per game, placing them 18th in the NFL. This week, the team is matched up against the league's 10th-ranked defense. Even though Arizona has a good matchup in the passing game, as the Buccaneers are ranked 21st in passer rating allowed, we don't anticipate the team being able to take advantage. Look for the Cardinals to finish the game with a below-average performance in the passing game. For the season, the Cardinals' rushing average of 111.8 yards per game places them 20th in the league.
