New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preview & Picks

Tampa Bay are tipped to cover as they end New England’s win streak.

Baker Mayfield has this Buccaneers offense rolling, and the defense can slow down Drake Maye and the Patriots to ensure the home team gets over the line.

  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-2 this season
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-1-0 ATS in their 6 victories this season
  • New England Patriots are 0-2-0 ATS in their 2 previous defeats
  • The Over has cashed in all 3 of Tampa Bay’s home games so far

Head To Head

  • New England Patriots lead the all-time series 7-3
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers won 19-17 when the two teams last met in October 2021

New England Patriots Form

New England head to Tampa on a red-hot run of form, having won six straight games to improve to 7-2.

The Patriots opened the season with a 20-13 defeat at home to Las Vegas, and then failed to back up a 33-27 win in Miami as they were beaten 21-14 by Pittsburgh.

They have not lost since though, with the 42-13 blowout of Carolina on September 28 kicking off a six-game win streak.

New England followed up that victory with three straight road wins as they downed Buffalo 23-20, New Orleans 25-19 and Tennessee 31-13.

The Patriots then took their streak to six games with back-to-back home wins, beating Cleveland 32-13 and Atlanta 24-23.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Form

Tampa Bay return from the bye week looking to build on the victory in New Orleans that improved their record to 6-2.

The Buccaneers opened the season hot, as they won back-to-back road games, 23-20 in Atlanta and 20-19 at Houston.

They then won their home opener against the New York Jets, 29-27, before finally seeing their perfect start end with a 31-25 defeat to Philadelphia.

Tampa Bay rebounded quickly, beating Seattle 38-35 on the road, and they backed that up with a 30-19 victory at home to San Francisco.

The Buccaneers then bounced back from a 24-9 defeat at Detroit with a 23-3 win over New Orleans before the bye week.

Verdict

New England are on a tear, but Tampa Bay have home advantage and they have been winning and covering consistently.

In what is likely to be a close matchup that goes down to the wire, we are backing Baker Mayfield to make the plays needed to ensure a win for the Bucs.
