🔥 Buccaneers vs. Bengals Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday, 9/13

Whether you stacked the two Chases - Ja’Marr and Brown - with your first two fantasy picks or you got the Mayfield-to-Egbuka combo, there is a ton to love about this NFC vs. AFC matchup. Baker was a top MVP candidate through the first handful of weeks last season, and right now, many fans are backing Joe Burrow with their Buccaneers vs. Bengals predictions, as he has the third-shortest odds to win the award this year.

Of course, health is the primary concern with the LSU product, and speaking of which, between Mayfield and Chris Godwin for Tampa, injuries are a significant concern across the board here. We won’t keep speaking those into existence and instead focus on this matchup, where we need to question if Tampa can exploit what has been a terrible defense in Cinci for several seasons and if the Bengals can put their star offensive pieces to work.

There’s also no more Mike Evans and a suspect offensive line protecting Burrow, so let’s see how it all adds up to lock in a best bet from our top Buccaneers vs. Bengals predictions for Sunday!

🏅 Buccaneers vs. Bengals Expert Pick: Joe Burrow Over 2.5 Passing TDs (+170 at Rebet)

Why not start the first Sunday slate with some value? That’s exactly what these plus-money odds provide, and truthfully, they don’t even feel right. Again, this is a QB that has the third-shortest odds to win MVP; Ja'Marr Chase has the third-shortest odds to win Offensive Player of the Year, and that’s while facing a poor pass defense.

That’s an ideal trifecta for hitting our Buccaneers vs. Bengals predictions. While Vita Vea did end up staying in Tampa, he was a big part of - literally and figuratively - why their run defense allowed the fifth-fewest yards per game last season. On the flip side, they allowed the fifth-MOST passing yards per game (one spot worse than Cinci).

We’ve learned that the Bengals defense isn’t good company to keep in any regard, so perhaps we see both QBs hit this prop for your Buccaneers vs. Bengals predictions. Regardless, we love that Burrow also has Tee Higgins to connect with, and for what it’s worth, in his lone game vs. Tampa, Burrow threw four TD passes (yes, it was back in 2022).

While that’s an old sample, the fact remains that he has the highest line for season-long TD passes at 32.5. In fact, only one other QB has a line at 30.5, which is Matthew Stafford. Additionally, if the Cincinnati D is as poor as it has been, that means plenty of throwing to keep pace with Mayfield, Egbuka, Godwin, and the rest of Tampa.

Whether we get some of this in garbage time or it hits in the first quarter, we love locking in the best bet from our Buccaneers vs. Bengals predictions on Joe Burrow over 2.5 passing TDs (+170 at Rebet).

🏉 Buccaneers vs. Bengals Injury Report & Latest News

Injuries with these two teams have been far too prevalent in recent seasons, so having the latest Buccaneers vs. Bengals news is a must. What matters most right now in Cinci is that Joe Burrow is healthy, and the questionable tags next to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins look to be precautionary only.

As for Buccaneers vs. Bengals injury news in Tampa, we’re going to see Baker Mayfield before he gets crushed 10 times a game and Chris Godwin healthy, yet both Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillian both have questionable tags. Along with rookie Reuben Bain, Jr. having one as well, the Buccaneers vs. Bengals injury report is going to be a must closer to kickoff.
