The previous NFL slate featured the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles. Well, those two squads now face one another as they look to make some noise in the NFC. Therefore, we’ve got our best Buccaneers vs. Seahawks predictions for NFL Week 5.

Don’t worry if you’re a fan in Tampa or Seattle (or ANY state other than AL, CO, ID, LA, MI, MT, NV and TN) without legal sports betting - you can still add to our Buccaneers vs. Seahawks picks with the guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus that we’ve also shared.

Buccaneers vs. Seahawks Predictions for NFL Week 5, Sunday 10/5

It was a while ago now, but the Seahawks came through with our best bet in that aforementioned TNF matchup by beating the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals. We got Seattle at +1.5 before flipping to 1.5-point favorites, so let’s see if we can find something with our Buccaneers vs. Seahawks predictions that ends up just as valuable.

In Tampa this past weekend, the Bucs also came through with an overall best bet for the entire slate (Bucky Irving TD at +160), but it was still as bad a start against the defending champs as possible. They went down 21-3 early on, fueled by a blocked punt TD. Now they have to take on a Seattle special teams that had scored a TD with that unit in Week 3 as well.

Therefore, it may very well end up being the difference in a game that the Buccaneers vs. Seahawks odds suggest it could go either way. So, rather than sweating out a pick on such a tight point spread, we’re going to focus our best bet elsewhere.

 

 

 

Buccaneers vs. Seahawks Best Bet: Sam Darnold Over 29.5 Pass Attempts (-107 at Novig)

Given the two teams in this matchup, the first thought for any Buccaneers vs. Seahawks picks would be a low-scoring game. Yes, that’s even with Philly’s team total suggesting otherwise against Tampa this past weekend.

An early special teams TD to put a team in the hole can completely change the game script, and the Bucs are also a team that continues to battle through injuries. On the flip side, Seattle saw the return of RB Zach Charbonnet against the Cards, and they’ll be the ones who haven’t played in 10 days.

The home-field and rest advantage certainly play a role in Seattle being favored and the focus of many Buccaneers vs. Seahawks predictions. The trip across the country after such a tough battle against the Eagles certainly makes this a tough test for the Bucs, but we’re still going to focus on player props instead.

Following Tampa’s Week 1 game, holding Bijan Robinson to just 24 yards on 12 carries, we knew that we loved their run defense. Well, they held Saquon Barkley to just 43 yards on 19 carries last weekend!

So, while Seattle may have their RB tandem of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet back healthy, we still expect QB Sam Darnold to need to throw more than he did last week. Although it was when he was in Carolina, he had three straight games against Tampa with pass attempt totals of 32, 42, and 37.

Regardless, it’s still the current Tampa defense that has us expecting more passing, making the best bet from our Buccaneers vs. Seahawks predictions on Sam Darnold over 29.5 pass attempts (-107at Novig).
