The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the New England Patriots for Week 10’s exciting NFC vs AFC Matchup, live from Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers are 6-2 for the season and are slowly starting to become the clear favorites to once again, win the NFC South division. They are coming off a dominant win against the New Orleans Saints, holding them to just three points while scoring 23 points. Baker Mayfield has been amazing this season, and despite all the injuries with players in and out of the lineup, the Bucs have found ways to continue winning.
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots have been equally dominant this season, with their second year QB Drake Maye leading the way. The Patriots have looked like a Super Bowl contending team so far and are 7-2 this season, leading the AFC East ahead of the Buffalo Bills. They are currently on a roll, winning 6-straight games and are hoping to extend the streak to 7, by beating a formidable team.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Stefon Diggs longest reception over 22.5 | -110 | -105 |
| Drake Maye over 1.5 passing TDs | -152 | -140 |
| Baker Mayfield over 1.5 passing TDs | -168 | -140 |
Stefon Diggs could catch a reception longer than 22.5 because in the Patriot’s system around Drake Maye, Diggs has been used as a deep threat target and in 4 out of 9 games so far, Diggs has crossed the 22.5 mark threshold. The Buccaneers have a weak pass defense which ranks 22nd in the league, allowing 228.8 yards on average, which makes us believe that this is a safe bet.
Drake Maye has been on a tear this season and has thrived in the last four games, scoring at least 2 TDs each. Looking at the Bucs weak pass defense, and 13th ranked scoring defense, we believe that Maye will have 2 or more TDs in this game. The Patriots’ system revolving around Maye’s arm and their pass heavy offense, should allow Maye to score effortlessly.
Baker Mayfield should be able to throw for over 1.5 passing TDs as he’s scored at least 1 TD in every single game, expect against the Raiders last week, and the Buccaneers’ heavy reliance in his arm. The Patriots are vulnerable against the pass, ranking 19th, and look for Mayfield to exploit that weakness using his arm.
We expect the New England Patriots to pull off an upset against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as they are on a six-game winning streak with all the momentum in their favor. While we expect the Buccaneers to give them a tough fight, the Patriots No.1 ranked rush defense, and their 5th ranked scoring defense, should prove to be enough to stop Tampa.
Prediction: Patriots win the game 28-21
