Danny Sheridan’s line: Eagles by 3
Eagles’ keys to victory
The ugly wins still count, and Eagles fans are thankful for that after their season-opening victory over the Falcons. QB Nick Foles has had plenty of success against the Bucs, so the quarterback situation shouldn’t be a huge concern for the defending Super Bowl champions. On both sides of the ball, Philly will use its schematic creativity to catch the Bucs off guard. The Bucs held off the Saints in large part by avoiding any turnovers on offense, and the Eagles will need to force takeaways if they want to stay undefeated.
Buccaneers’ keys to victory
In a Week 1 upset of the Saints, the Bucs proved they have the firepower to win a shootout. The biggest questions that remain: Can they replicate that output consistently, and can their defense be effective enough to make it unnecessary? Sure, Tampa Bay tied a franchise record with 48 points at New Orleans, but it needed them all because the defense gave up 40 to Drew Brees and company. Bucs fans can’t expect 400-yard, fivetouchdown performances with no turnovers from backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick every week.
Who wins?
Both of these teams won last week, but the mood is decidedly different for each club because of the ways they made it happen. The Bucs will get deflated by a more experienced team.
Eagles, 34-24
