RAVENS @ BUCCANEERS (8:15p ET)
BUCCANEERS RB LEONARD FOURNETTE OVER 29.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-115)
Tampa Bay has to get their identity back on offense. What has worked is dump offs to Fournette, slants to Godwin and deep shots to Evans. Leonard had gone over this receiving yards total in the four previous game before the debacle that happened in Carolina last week. I'm going to hope that was a blip in the matrix and the Bucs get back to what they do best on offense.
RAVENS RB GUS EDWARDS OVER 44.5 RUSHING YARDS (-115)
Baltimore wasted no time getting the bus back in motion on Sunday afternoon. He was taken off I.R. and put right into the mix. The craziest part was that he didn't seem to miss a beat at all. He rushed the ball 16 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns. That's over 4 yards a carry in his first game back. One of the reasons the Bucs were so successful during their Super Bowl run was their ability to stop their opponents' ground attack and make them one dimensional. They aren't that team anymore allowing 118 yards per game on the ground and 133 over their last three. The Ravens will want to come out and establish the run early and often and that starts with Gus the Bus.
BUCCANEERS TE CADE OTTON OVER 29.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-115)
The Buccaneers have already ruled out Cameron Brate for this game which puts Cade in the driver's seat for tight end targets. He's averaging five targets per game over the last three games. Otton has been over this receiving total in two of his last three games. Brady needs as many weapons as he can find in this game.
BUCCANEERS K RYAN SUCCOP OVER 1.5 FIELD GOALS MADE (+100)
One of the biggest problem areas for the Buccaneers this season has been their red zone offense. They are tied with the Bears for fourth worst in the league at just 47% converted the touchdown. That means Ryan gets lots of opportunities at makeable field goals. He has covered this prop in five of the Buccaneers seven games this season.
