Bettors seem to think it’s going to be a tight one when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be one-point underdogs when they play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Raymond James Stadium on Christmas Eve. The over/under is set at 43 points and the moneyline is at a dead even -110 for both squads.
The uncertain likely comes from a number of factors surrounding the Jaguars as of late. Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence entered concussion protocol on Sunday, so it’s unknown whether or not he’ll be able to play against the Bucs. What’s more, the Jaguars have recently entered a three-game skid and come into the game with just one more win than Tampa Bay with an 8-6 record.
The Bucs are a different story. The team has won three-straight matchups and is currently 7-7, making up for a rough stretch toward the middle of the year. This Jacksonville team will be the best team they play during their win streak, but with an offense that is beginning to truly a cook and a defense that continues to hold teams out of the red zone, the Bucs are currently a scrappy team for anyone to play, especially at home.
