The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won a third straight NFC South title during the regular season and will host the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in a wild card matchup this Monday night at Raymond James Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on ESPN. The Eagles are on the spread, and the game has an over/under line of points.
Wild card round player props: Eagles vs. Bucs
The Eagles struggled during a tough stretch in their schedule and have yet to regain their stride, losing five of their final six regular season games. They’re dealing with key injuries on both sides of the ball, led by Jalen Hurts (knee) and A.J. Brown (knee), arguably their two most important players. The Eagles suffered a 31-15 loss at Tampa Bay to Tom Brady and the Bucs in the wild card round in 2022, when Hurts passed for 258 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
The Bucs are back in the playoffs, with Baker Mayfield stepping up after Brady’s retirement. Mayfield’s top target has been Mike Evans, with Chris Godwin becoming a much bigger factor over the final few weeks of the season. Mayfield appeared to hurt his ankle during a 9-0 win last week that clinched the division.
