By james art The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a brutal schedule over the next few weeks, and this could prove to be the toughest matchup of all. The Bucs will be in prime time Monday night to take on the high-flying Baltimore Ravens, who boast arguably the best offense in the National Football League.
Tampa Bay is a 3.5-point underdog in this contest, and we’ve got three of the best bets you can bet on before the Bucs play the Saints on Sunday with bets and odds provided by FanDuel — check them out below:
Stakes record this year: 11-7
According to Fanduel, Bucky Irving is the only Bucs player listed with plus odds for that — and you should take advantage. Irving has carved out a bigger role for himself, and even with the supposed “three-headed monster” of Todd Bowles, Rachaad White is still dealing with a nagging injury and is questionable. With the Buck and Tuck pairing doing so well, take a flyer on this one even with a stout Ravens defense.

I had a crush on this one before, but he keeps calling me. Tampa Bay has scored a touchdown on its opening drive in the last three games, but this Ravens defense is tough to deal with. Expect Tampa Bay to have some early fun, but the drive could stall due to game issues. If that happens, it will likely be in Ravens territory, so bet on this one.
Here’s a bet that’s unlikely at first glance – and the odds reflect that – but a low-risk bet can reap some big rewards. The Ravens have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL, so Baker Mayfield and company could thrive in Tampa Bay. Then again, they have Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, so the same could apply. This could be a sneaky good bet for a play that could turn into a penalty shootout.
