3 Factors To Consider When Betting Ravens vs Buccaneers

1. Mayfield Shining With OC Coen

I’ve got to be honest here. I love the glow up of Mayfield since he officially became a full-time Floridaman. Mayfield is ballin’ under new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen.

“There’s not many days I don’t think Baker wakes up and he doesn’t have a chip on his left shoulder, but there is definitely a feeling that this is his team, and it’s okay to fail,” Coen said of the Bucs quarterback.

“It’s okay. Go out there, and let it rip, and be yourself every single day no matter what, because you’re gonna be the guy and we believe in you. That’s something that ultimately he just hasn’t really had the opportunity to have all that often in his career.”

Through the season’s first six games, Mayfield has thrown for 1,489 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing an impressive 70.9% of his passes. Mayfield has also shown off his legs with 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

2. Henry Has Been a Revelation for Ravens

As for the Ravens, the squad is riding a heater into Tampa. Baltimore has rattled off four straight wins, and the quality of competition has been impressive, with the wins coming against the Commanders, Bengals, Bills and Cowboys. The Ravens are looking like one of the top teams in the Super Bowl odds.

Derrick Henry appears to be as timeless as Tom Cruise, never showing signs of aging. Henry has rushed for at least 130 yards in three of the last four outings.

“It’s very effective because guys are trying to stop him before he gets started,” Jackson said of Henry. “They’re trying to hit the A-, B- (and) C-gap; it really doesn’t matter, they’re just trying to stop him in the backfield before he gets to rolling and gets to the second and third level. That play-action is definitely effective.”

3. MNF Picks: Baker Is Feeling Dangerous and So Is the Over

Both of these squads head into the Monday Night Football showdown trending towards the over. The Ravens have hit the over in five of their six contests, while Tampa Bay has gone over in four of six games.

Needless to say, we’re riding with the over at BetUS Sportsbook. As for the side, look for the Bucs offense to allow Tampa Bay to keep things close.

Take the Buccaneers to cover the +3½-point spread on the NFL lines.
