Cardinals vs Buccaneers Prediction

I’ll go with Tampa Bay on a coin flip, but realistically I’m avoiding this one. The Bucs really need a good bounce-back effort after getting drilled by the Rams last weekend. Tampa had two picks with just 14 first downs, 193 total yards and 2.9 yards per play in that loss. The defense gave up just 4-of-10 on third downs but also 6.1 yards per play and 20 first downs to the Rams. That makes three straight losses for the Bucs, with 28 or more points surrendered in each.

As for the Cards, they mustered 25 first downs and 326 total yards in their overtime loss to the Jaguars but went just 5-of-16 on third-down conversion attempts. The defense gave up 371 yards with 6.1 yards per play on the other side, but also had four takeaways and a 3-of-11 success rate on third downs. Arizona has lost three straight themselves, but they’ve put up 20 or more points in eight straight games. I could see the Cardinals taking this one as well.
