Everybody wants to knock off a defending champ. Philadelphia is unbeaten, but it hasn't been easy, winning by 4, 3, and 7 points. They were down, 26-7, last week to the Rams before mounting a wild comeback. The defense ranks 15th in points allowed, 21st on third down, 24th against the run, and 18th in total yards given up. Tampa Bay is 3-0 despite playing two road games. The defense is 13th in yards allowed per game, fifth against the run, and third on third down (31.43%). QB Baker Mayfield (6 TDs, no picks) leads a balanced offense that is seventh in rushing (130.7 yards per game). The Bucs have covered four straight as an underdog (winning three times). They also ripped the Eagles on the road last year, 33-16, so back the home dog. Play Tampa Bay.
