Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh

Tampa Bay didn't start its first-stringers, but it still came out with an easy 29-7 win over Tennessee, which featured No. 1 draft pick Cam Ward and some starters for a few drives. Pittsburgh defeated Jacksonville for its first preseason win since 2023 after losing all three last year. Baker Mayfield likely won't play at all in the preseason, but Kyle Trask completed 12 of 16 for 129 yards, and Connor Bazelak went 6-for-9 for 48 yards for the Buccaneers, who racked up 178 rushing yards. Todd Bowles is 5-2 straight up and ATS since 2023 in the preseason for the Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers will not play this week for the Steelers, and Mike Tomlin also said he will keep out several other starters, mostly on defense. Tampa Bay had an outstanding performance by its defense against the Titans, especially the younger players, who showed tremendous potential with disciplined play. Take the Buccaneers.
