Philadelphia Eagles-Tampa Bay Buccaneers Overview

The Philadelphia Eagles (11-6) visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-8) in the final game of Super Wild Card Weekend on Monday night.

This will be a rematch of their Week 3 matchup, which the Eagles took 25-11. Jalen Hurts notably threw for 277 yards and punched in a touchdown in that one, but he was hardly the only Eagle to have a big game. D'Andre Swift ran for 130 and a score, while A.J. Brown racked up nine receptions and 131 yards.

Tampa Bay totaled just 174 yards in the first meeting, but Mike Evans still secured five of ten targets for 60 yards and a score of his own.

That said, I'm not sure how much we should take away from Week 3. Both teams look a lot different this time around, with Philly's injuries of particular concern. Both Hurts and Brown are banged up, and it's unclear how limited they'll be on Monday.

Tampa isn't entirely healthy, either. Quarterback Baker Mayfield was back at practice on Friday, but he'll benefit from the game being played Monday.

Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Prop Bets

Rachaad White Over 3.5 Receptions (-158)

Given the nature of Baker Mayfield's rib injury, I don't expect him to wait long in the pocket to push the ball downfield.

Rather, Mayfield will likely lean on his pass-catching running back, Rachaad White. White averaged 3.8 receptions and 4.1 targets per game during the regular season, ranking third on the team with a 12.7% target share.

He was particularly involved in the passing game during their losses, during which he averaged 4.4 receptions and 4.6 targets. If the Bucs fall behind early, they'll look to keep White involved in some capacity. Considering that Philly is a three-point favorite, Tampa Bay don't be shocked to see them play through their young back and rely on him to pick up yards after the catch.

Chris Godwin Over 56.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Baker's injury didn't stop Chris Godwin from securing six of seven targets for 51 yards last week. Against a ultra-soft Eagles secondary, he should see plenty of opportunities to go over 56.5 yards.

Godwin's role was fantastic over the final five weeks of the season. From Weeks 14-18, Godwin led the way with a 29.7% target share. He averaged 6.0 receptions, 9.2 targets, and 83.6 yards over that span.

The Eagles, meanwhile, were one of the worst teams in the league at defending wide receivers. They allowed the fifth-highest target rate and second-most total yards to the position.

numberFire projects Godwin for 5.5 receptions, 8.2 targets, and 64.0 receiving yards -- a good deal more than his line is set at.

Although he was held to 32 yards in their Week 3 matchup, Godwin's role has expanded significantly since then. He should be heavily involved on Monday night and stands a good chance of going recording at least 57 receiving yards.

D'Andre Swift Any Time Touchdown Scorer (+170)

D'Andre Swift only scored one touchdown over the final six weeks of the season, but it's not like there weren't opportunities. He averaged 2.4 red zone rushing attempts per game but finished with just five touchdowns.

By comparison, Gus Edwards averaged 2.3 red zone rushing attempts per game, but he scored 13 touchdowns.

Some of that was bad luck.

But a lot of it had to do with the infamous tush push. However, we could see Philly attempt to protect their already-hobbled quarterback and elect to feed Swift instead.

That's speculation, but Swift should have a nice chance to score even if the Eagles tush push as usual. PFF's expected points model pegged him for eight rushing touchdowns during the regular season, so there's been a bit of bad luck here.

Expect a heavy dose of D'Andre Swift with Philly's passing game banged up, and don't be surprised if he punches one in for six.
