Betting The Bucs (Week 14 Edition)

December 8th, 2024

So Joe’s season-long record is 10-10 in Bucs-related picks after last Sunday’s bumpy ride against Carolina.

“Betting the Bucs” reveals where Joe is throwing cash within today’s Buccaneers game.

Of course, it’s only Joe’s pregame picks, not in-game wagers.

(Sports betting is legal in Florida but there’s only one government-regulated Florida sportsbook monopoly run by the Seminole tribe. That’s where Joe gets the betting lines.)

Good luck!

Bucky Irving Over 3.5 catches (+120) — So Joe sees the Bucs getting back to their relatively dormant screen game today against the Raiders and Maxx Crosby. And Joe also sees the Bucs preferring to give Bucky Irving touches without slamming his bad hip/back into the line of scrimmage. Irving has caught three or more balls in each of the last six games.


Mike Evans Over 5.5 catches (+105) — Joe will continue to ride this because continuing Mike Evans’ streak of 1,000-yard receiving seasons is very important to everyone at One Buc Palace. Evans had 12 targets last week and caught 8, and he strongly implied he’s healthier now than he was seven days ago.

Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell Over 35.5 Pass Attempts (-125) — So manbeast Bucs defensive tackle Vita Vea was invisible last Sunday and he rarely has two bad games in a row. Combine that with Raiders ranking last in the NFL in yards per carry, and Joe sees the Raiders abandoning the run game early. And frankly, why wouldn’t any team attacking the Bucs focus on passing the ball? Surely, the Raiders have seen Tampa Bay’s soft pass defense. O’Connell played well and attempted 35 passes against the Chiefs last week.

    I woke up this morning with the thought that M1K3 gets 245 yards and 2 TDs today! Hope my premonition is right…

    I have Rachad over 38 rushing yards ,,, I’m not sure why he wouldn’t get more carries today and use Bucky as needed
