This will be a rematch from earlier this season in this playoff matchup on Monday night as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the opening round of the postseason. Both of these teams put together successful regular seasons, and both of them will look for an opening round victory in the postseason as they look to advance to the next round of the playoffs and further their Super Bowl dreams. Both of these teams were consistent throughout the regular season and both of them will be looking to keep the momentum rolling throughout this game on Sunday night at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay as they both look to pick up an opening round victory to advance to the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.
The Philadelphia Eagles had an incredible start to the regular season, but they have struggled over the last month and a half. They will look to shake off their recent struggles and pick up a victory on the road in this opening round playoff matchup against Tampa Bay on Monday night, as they look to keep the momentum, rolling in advance to the divisional round in search of their second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Philadelphia put up incredible numbers throughout the early part of the season but injuries have caught up to them throughout the year and they come into this game limping as a wildcard team which is why they have to go on the road against the team that has a much worse record than them this season.
They have already beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers once this season on the road at Raymond James Stadium, and they will look for their second consecutive victory on the road in Tampa Bay this season with another quality performance here on Monday night as they look to grab a victory in the opening round of the playoffs. This is a Philadelphia team that will likely be without AJ Brown, and several other key contributors on both sides of the football, but they will still look to grab a victory here in this game against Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There are rumors going around that head coach. Nick Sirianni potentially coaching for his job, as well as a first round exit in the playoffs, could lead to him being fired at the end of the year.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a roller coaster of a season, but they have managed to win their division and make a playoff appearance. Baker Mayfield has been playing decent football throughout the regular season and now he will look to lead them to an upset of the Philadelphia Eagles and get revenge against Philadelphia for their loss earlier this season. Tampa Bay has looked inconsistent against solid football teams this season but with the way Philadelphia has struggled as of late this game could arguably go either way here on Monday night at home as the Buccaneers look for the biggest upset of the postseason so far.
Baker Mayfield will need to continue protecting the football and limit the amount of mistakes that he makes if Tampa Bay wants to have an opportunity to pick up a victory in this game on Monday night and advance to the NFC divisional round next weekend. They will need to utilize the big play threat of Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin and they will have to get their running game going against a very spectacular run defense. Otherwise this could turn into another long night much like they had earlier in the season against Philadelphia. They will also need to find a way to shut down the Philadelphia Eagles offense, especially their rushing attack as they will be without AJ Brown in this game and it could make them a little bit more one dimensional than they were earlier this year.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Philadelphia is 10-4 as a favorite
- Philadelphia is 7-4 away from the NFC East
- Phila has already beaten Tampa once this year
The majority of the playoff games throughout the first couple days of the weekend have not been close and I don’t see this game being close either. As I look for the Philadelphia Eagles to get things going in the right direction once again and wrap up a comfortable victory here in this game on Monday night against Tampa Bay on the road. Philadelphia just has too many weapons at their disposal, and I expect them to use every single one of them throughout this game against Tampa Bay on Monday night to pick up a playoff victory in the wildcard round in advance to the next round of the postseason.
