Two division leaders will face off on “Thursday Night Football” when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have lost two straight, while the Ravens are coming off a 23-20 win over division-rival Cleveland Browns heading into NFL Week 8.
The game will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET and can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
Tampa Bay is a slight home favorite (-1.5), but it’s tough to bet on a team that scored just three points against the lowly Carolina Panthers last week. Instead of taking a side, I’m targeting a couple of player props with Tom Brady.
Brady’s passing props are set at 277.5 yards and 1.5 touchdowns. I think both unders are solid plays. Brady has gone over this yardage total in just three out of seven games this season, while he’s thrown for multiple touchdowns only once, against the Chiefs in Week 4.

Tom Brady Getty ImagesBrady and the Bucs have been under the spotlight since their disappointing loss on Sunday. Now they head into Thursday with just three days of rest and an offense that was completely stuck in the mud 96 hours ago.
The Ravens’ pass defense, meanwhile, has been solid of late. After allowing 300+ passing yards in each of its first three games, Baltimore has allowed 258 passing yards or fewer in each of the past four weeks, which includes matchups with the Bills’ Josh Allen and the Bengals’ Joe Burrow.

There’s also the fact that Thursday Night Football has been notoriously lacking in offensive firepower this season. Aside from last week’s 42-34 shootout between the Cardinals and Saints, the under has hit on every Thursday Night game. Look for that trend to continue, and for Brady’s struggles to carry on for another week.
