Buccaneers Week 6 Predictions
4. Tom Brady will have another 400-yard day
After throwing for 411 yards to go along with five touchdowns in Week 5, Tom Brady looked as dominant as ever and was ready to put up some big numbers after a challenging past few games. Brady's numbers didn't drop much, but the Buccaneers' offense wasn't as explosive as it previously had been. In Week 5, all that changed and they were picking apart the Dolphins defense all game long, especially with Brady hitting all his targets and executing Tampa's passing game to perfection.
Not that Brady's top-notch passing is anything new, but watching him continually play at a high level at this point in his career is always a spectacle. In Week 6 against the Eagles, Tom Brady is set to have another 400-yard day in the hopes of avenging his heartbreaking loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LII.
3. The Buccaneers will get a ton of production from their receiving corps
During their Week 5 match-up in Miami, Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin lit up the Dolphins secondary when they combined for 307 receiving yards, four touchdowns, and 20 receptions in a blowout win. Come Thursday night, it can definitely be expected that the Buccaneers' electric receiving corps will be back at it and creating all kinds of mismatches for the Eagles stingy defense.
Between their lightning speed, limitless athleticism, and steady hands, this dynamic trio will be an absolute nightmare for the Eagles secondary. After witnessing Brady's 400-yard game last weekend, there's no doubt that he'll be moving the ball around effortlessly as the Buccaneers light up the scoreboard and dominate through the air.
2. Tampa's pass rush will overwhelm Philly
With Devin White, Shaq Barrett, Ndamukong Suh, and Jason Pierre-Paul leading the charge for them on defense, the Bucs pass rush will spell trouble for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense in Week 6. Given their relentlessness and tenacity, Hurts may find himself on the run all night long against this elite defensive unit.
If anything's true, it's that they'll disrupt the Eagles running game and continually finds way to slow down their offense throughout the game. Looking to have another strong showing on defense, the Buccaneers will be bringing the blitz against Philly on Thursday. As they aim to bring the pressure and make things difficult for the Eagles in Week 6, Tampa's pass rush will undoubtedly be overwhelming in the City of Brotherly Love.
1. The Bucs will come away with a big win
Coming in hot after last weekend's rout of the Dolphins, the Buccaneers will be coming into Thursday's big showdown with a chip on their shoulders as they'll be fighting to keep their winning streak alive. With a ton of momentum behind them and a winning streak on the line, the Bucs are primed for a big road win on Thursday night.
Hoping to pull off another crucial win while keeping their place atop the NFC South, this game is Tampa Bay's to lose. So watch out for Brady and the gang to keep the chains moving and hitting on all the high notes in their exciting Week 6 match-up against the Eagles. After all, Brady is hoping to exact revenge against the team that denied him of a Super Bowl back in 2018.
