Why the Eagles can cover
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is as dangerous with his legs as he is with his arm. Last season’s NFL MVP runner-up has accounted for 38 total touchdowns this season, which is a single-season franchise record. He is the only player in league history with 20 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing scores in consecutive seasons.
In addition, Philadelphia enters Monday night knowing it already has beaten Tampa Bay this season. In Week 3 at Raymond James Stadium, Hurts threw for a touchdown and ran for another en route to leading the Eagles to a 25-11 victory. Philadelphia also limited the Buccaneers to just 174 total yards. See which team to pick here.
Why the Buccaneers can cover
Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. has been a sideline-to-sideline playmaker for the Tampa Bay defense. The 5-foot-9 Winfield leads the team in passes defended (12), interceptions (three), forced fumbles (six) and fumble recoveries (four). He also ranks second on the team in sacks (six) and total tackles (122).
In addition, the Buccaneers will face a Philadelphia defense that has struggled all season. The Eagles gave up 35 passing touchdowns during the regular season; only the Commanders (39) gave up more. Philadelphia also ranked 31st in the league in passing defense (252.7 yards per game) and 30th in scoring defense (25.2 points per game). See which team to pick here.
