NFL Week Five Betting - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Philadelphia Eagles

Week five of the NFL season sees Tampa Bay travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles. Tampa Bay have had a poor start to the season to say the least and are 0-4, losing last week 16-13 to the Redskins despite holding a 10 point half time lead. The Eagles are have had a winning start and are 2-1 following their bye last week.

On the money line, the Eagles are very heavy favourites at -900 (bet $900 to win $100 profit). The winless Bucs are big underdogs at +800 (bet $100 to win $800). Last time these teams met the Bucs edged it 23-21 in week seven of the 2006 season.

The linemakers make the Eagles 15 point favourites on the point spread at -15. This leaves the Buccaneers at +15, heavy underdogs. So far 79% of betting with the point spread has been on the Eagles.

Tampa bay are 1-3 this season against the spread and 1-1 on the road. The Eagles have covered in both their wins but failed to cover in their only loss and are 2-1 against the spread. Tampa Bay, however, have won and covered in their last two games against the Eagles.

The Over/Under has been set at 43%, with 58% of betting so far on the over. The Bucs have been under twice and over twice so far this season while the Eagles have finished over in all three decisions.

The Eagles have been made eighth favourites to win the Super Bowl this year at 16/1, but Tampa Bay are thought the least likely team in the league and are a massive 1000/1.
