The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Tampa, FL, in hopes of avenging last season’s embarrassing playoff loss. The Eagles lost to the Buccaneers 32-9 in that game and were bounced from the playoffs.
Tampa Bay has had Philadelphia’s number over the past 10 years. They are 5-1 in that time and lead the overall series 12-11-0.
Head coach Nick Sirianni could find himself on the hot seat after finishing last season with six losses in Philly’s last seven games and losing in the Wild Card round by more than three touchdowns. The start of this season has not cooled things for Sirianni. A few questionable decisions and play calls by the Eagles’ Head Coach in their loss to Atlanta has overshadowed any good will built up during their two wins.
The poor coaching spilled over to their game last week against the New Orleans Saints. They escaped with a win, but if Sirianni doesn’t come out of Tampa with a win, his head could be on the chopping block.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) thinks the play here is Saquon Barkley Over 76.5 rushing yards:
“The Eagles are down to their last remaining weapon, Saquon Barkley. The Bucs’ run defense has not been the finest this season, allowing 137 yards per game. If Vita Vea is not 100%, that run defense will take another big hit. Barkley’s usage will be insane in this game. Add that he’s cleared this number in every game this season, and the over on his rushing yards is my play.”
