NFL Week 9 Betting - Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL Lock Alert – Battle of the ‘Bays’ Pits Green Bay at Tampa Bay
Green Bay (-10) vs. Tampa Bay (+10)
O/U (43½)
Sunday, November 8 1:00 PM ET
The Green Bay Packers (4-3 SU, 4-3 ATS, 4-3 O/U) will assuredly be in a foul mood after losing to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings at home in a much-hyped Week 8 contest when they battle the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7 SU, 1-6 ATS, 4-3 O/U) at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday at 1 PM ET.
The Packers lost to Minnesota 38-26 in Week 8, failing to cover the NFL moneyline as I predicted as 3.5-point home favorites while the game’s final score played Over the 47-point O/U total.
Gifted quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns for Green Bay in a losing effort.
The Buccaneers had a bye in Week 8 after getting routed for the fifth time in seven games in their 35-7 Week 7 loss to New England.
The reeling Buccaneers failed to come close to covering the game’s NFL moneyline as a 15.5-point home underdog while the game’s final score played Over the 44.5-point O/U total.
Tampa’s young quarterback, Josh Johnson, tossed three interceptions in the loss.

NFL Odds
- Green Bay -10 -110
- Over/Under 43½ -110
Analysis: This pick certainly doesn’t require a lot of guesswork with the lowly Buccaneers averaging just 13.7 points per game this season and facing a ticked-off Packers team that has put up an average of 26.7 points per contest so far this season despite having their share of offensive woes.
With the Buccaneers going a dismal 1-4 ATS in their last five games against NFC ballclubs and an ugly 1-5 ATS versus a team with a winning record, Tampa Bay certainly has their work cut out for them.
Green Bay has gone a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss and have bounced back well from a loss recently, going a solid 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an SU loss.
While the Packers have gone a woeful 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the Buccaneers and just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games in Tampa Bay, this year’s Buccaneers squad is absolutely pathetic and have almost no shot at all of winning or covering the pro football betting odds in this matchup at all.
I also like the Under to cash in for avid BetUS sports betting members as it has gone a consistent 4-1 in the last five meetings in Tampa Bay and 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall.
Simply put, take the Green Bay Packers to win this road game outright and cover the NFL point spread while the Under plays out as well!
