Betting tip and prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Baltimore Ravens (21.10.2024)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Baltimore Ravens are heading into Week 7 as one of the best offensive teams in the league and are sharing the top of their respective conferences. The Buccaneers are scoring 29.7 points per game, tied for second with the Washington Commanders behind only the Detroit Lions, who score 30.2 points per game. The Ravens are ranked first with 453.7 yards per game and are averaging 29.5 points, which puts them fourth in the league. On the flip side, both teams are among the worst pass defenses in the league. Tampa Bay is 28th with 252.3 yards per game, while Baltimore is ranked 31st, allowing 275.7 yards passing. Both quarterbacks have a solid season, and it will be interesting to see them going against each other. Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield is 134 for 189 passing for 1,489 yards and a league-high 15 touchdowns. The Buccaneers’ running attack is led by rookie Bucky Irving, who has 328 rushing yards. On the other hand, Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP, is having another impressive season. Jackson has completed 118 of 176 passes for 1,529 yards with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions. He is also second on the team with 403 yards rushing with two scores. Jackson is 22-1 against the NFC opponents, the best mark by a quarterback against an opposing conference in NFL history. Baltimore has won five straight against Tampa Bay after losing the first two meetings dating back to 2001, and Jackson is 2-0 against them. Derrick Henry is another valuable asset for Baltimore, as he leads the league in rushing yards, attempts, and rushing touchdowns. Henry is also the first player since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2005 with at least one rushing touchdown in each of his team’s first six games. That is just too much power for the Buccaneers to handle, so we go with the Ravens to cover the -3.5-point spread.
