Current records: Green Bay 1-1; Tampa Bay 2-0
What there is to know
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will return home after a two-game road trip. They will face the Green Bay Packers at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Both teams are looking to build on the momentum of their previous victories.
The Buccaneers had a touchdown and a change to spare in a 20-10 win over the New Orleans Saints last Sunday. No one had a standout game offensively for Tampa Bay, but they got scores from SS Mike Edwards and WR Breshad Perriman.
Tampa Bay’s defense was a force to be reckoned with, as it embarrassed the New Orleans offensive line by sacking QB Jameis Winston six times for a total loss of 30 yards. In the lead, OLB Shaquil Barrett and his two bags. These are the first bags for Barrett.
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Green Bay and the Chicago Bears last Sunday was still pretty decisive as Green Bay wrapped it up with a 27- 10 at home. The team accumulated 24 points in the first half and relied on those for the win. Packers RB Aaron Jones was on fire, rushing for a TD and 132 yards on 15 carries in addition to snatching one while receiving a TD.
This next game should be close, with the Buccaneers starting just 1.5 points behind. They’ve been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so could be worth a quick bet.
Tampa Bay didn’t have too much wiggle room in their fight against Green Bay when the teams met two seasons ago, but they still came away with a 31-26 win. Tampa Bay’s win knocked Green Bay out of the playoffs, so they have a target on their backs.
