BUCCANEERS @ BILLS (8:20p)


BILLS RB JAMES COOK UNDER 50.5 RUSHING YARDS (-115)
We know that the Bills are a pass first team. They want to be a running team at heart but Josh Allen wants to chuck the ball around the yard. Also, the Buccaneers have been solid against the run this season, only one running back has gotten more than 60 yards against them in a game and that was D’Andre Swift in Week 3. Cook has rushed for less than 60 yards in 3 of his last 4 games this season. He’s only had over 15 carries one time the whole year.

BUCCANEERS WR CHRIS GODWIN OVER 54.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-115)
Chris has not really skipped a beat since downgrading at quarterback from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield, except when it comes to touchdowns. He has not caught one of those all season but what he has done is catch at least 5 balls in all but one of their games. He has been over this receiving total in his last 3 and 4 of his last 5. He’s just that reliable target over the middle for Baker.

BUCCANEERS RB RACHAAD WHITE OVER 46.5 RUSHING YARDS (+105)
I know that Tampa has struggled to run the ball, especially the last few weeks. The problem is, they need to establish some kind of a run game to set up the play action. Baker Mayfield is a much better passer when it’s in play action. This is a team they can run on, Buffalo has allowed 4 backs to reach 90 yards or more in a game. This is such a low threshold for a guy who still gets the bulk of the work in the running game.
