Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the Buccaneers will look to keep things rolling after picking up a 21-15 win over their division rival, the Atlanta Falcons. In terms of betting, Tampa Bay did not cover the spread in their win, as they entered as the -10.0 point favorites. The team's combined scoring of 36 points fell below the posted betting line of 46. In their win over Atlanta, the Buccaneers held a 21-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 21-0. However, their 6 point victory was not enough to cover the point spread. Through 5 games, the Buccaneers have an ATS record of 2-3. So far, they have an over-under record of 1-4. This week's betting total of 43.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Buccaneers prepare to take on Pittsburgh, they are ranked 21st in points per game at 20.6. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Steelers defense giving up 25.6 points per game. Throughout the game, Tampa Bay should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 3rd ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, our projections show that the Buccaneers' offense will have its problems. Even though they have a decent matchup against Pittsburgh, look Tampa Bay to come up with fewer rush yards than their season average of 66.0.
Pittsburgh Steelers - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 5, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Bills by a score of 38-3, giving them a loss against an AFC opponent. With the loss, Pittsburgh also failed to cover the spread, as they were 14.0 point underdogs. With an over-under betting line of 44, the two teams fell below that figure as they combined for 41. The Steelers were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Buffalo by a score of 31-3 heading into the final quarter. Through 5 games, the Steelers have an ATS record of 1-3-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 2-3. This week's betting total of 43.5 is right in line with their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Steelers' offense is averaging 15.4 points per game, placing them 30th in the NFL. This week, they have a tough matchup against the league's 6th-ranked defense, and figure to struggle to move the ball. This week, look for the Steelers to remain stagnant in the passing game, as not only have they struggled to move the ball through the air, but they are facing a secondary ranked 9th in passer rating allowed. On the ground, our projections show that the Steelers' offense will have its problems. Even though they have a decent matchup against Tampa Bay, look for Pittsburgh to come up with fewer rush yards than their season average of 88.6.
