TAM -3.0 (-115)Southpoint vs 125 BUF double-dime bet
Analysis:
Tampa has had an underrated HFA since the bye week last year when Tampa figured their offense out. Since that bye, at home, Tampa is 7-1 ATS, 8-0 SU, and the fewest amount of points they have scored was 26. Buffalo's defensive metrics look good on paper, but it has been against a laughable schedule of opposing quarterbacks that include Big Ben, Tua, Mills, Lawrence, White, Siemein. Against Wentz and Tannehill led offenses, they gave up 34 and 41 points.
The loss of star cornerback Tredavious White did not show in last weeks game against the Patriots, but against Tampa's high flying offense, it will likely show here. Buffalo's run game is likely to be non existent against Tampa's dominate defensive front, and Josh Allen has not played near the level that he had played last season.
One has to wonder if there is something going on in Buffalo's locker room as well, as HC Sean McDermott seemed disgruntled after the loss against New England about his teams offense. Safeties Jordan Poyer and Myca Hyde made it a point to mention that their defense held New England to 14 points in their post game press conference as well.
