Lines are set for next week’s matchup.
Tampa Bay is coming off of their 20-16 win in Detroit and oddsmakers have set the opening lines for the Bucs Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
According to FanDuel, Tampa Bay is a 6.5-point favorite at home.
Point spread: Bucs -6.5
Point total: 39.5
Moneyline: Bucs -115, Broncos -105
Quarterback Baker Mayfield faced a tough challenge in Week 2 when the Lions unleashed defensive end Aiden Hutchinson. The offense had no answers for him for most of the game and Tampa Bay clearly felt the loss of tackle Luke Goedeke which saw several drives stall thanks to his 4.5 sacks. But Tampa Bay did escape a close game and moved to 2-0 on the season.
The Bucs had several injuries throughout the defense heading into Sunday and it continued in game with the loss of defensive tackle Vita Vea. It’ll be interesting to monitor the news surrounding his injury throughout the week which may undoubtedly impact the line.
We’ll see how the matchup plays out when the Bucs and Broncos square off at 1:00 PM ET next Sunday.
