Eagles vs. Buccaneers prediction
(7:15 p.m. ET., ABC)
Philadelphia’s offense mustered only one offensive touchdown in Week 1, but the Eagles stepped up in a big Week 2 home win.
The Eagles outlasted the Vikings, 34-28, behind 259 yards rushing, including two touchdown runs by quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Buccaneers didn’t have high expectations following Tom Brady’s retirement, but Baker Mayfield has led Tampa Bay to a pair of wins over Minnesota and Chicago.

From a totals perspective, the Eagles are 2-0 to the Over, while the Buccaneers are 1-1.
Tampa Bay easily cashed an Under in its opening-week triumph at Minnesota on a 45 total, but hit the Over last week against Chicago thanks to a late interception return for a touchdown.
Unders are 2-1 on “Monday Night Football,” as the lone Over was cashed in the Cleveland-Pittsburgh matchup on a 39 total last week.

Tampa Bay’s defense is stout and should be able to slow down Philadelphia. That doesn’t mean a win for the Bucs, but this game should stay Under the total of 45.
