Steelers vs. Buccaneers Odds
Game Preview
Aaron Rodgers looked fine against the Colts in a 34-22 win. The 4-time NFL MVP threw for 235 passing yards and 3 TDs, two to Pat Freiermuth. RB Jaylen Warren added 101 rushing yards for a score, balancing the Steelers’ offense.
TJ Watt has 4.5 sacks so far, and he will be ready for this event. The former DPOY suffered an eye poke during his time with the Colts, but he is “active and ready” for Week 6.
The Buccaneers actually have a solid defense. Their run stoppers are the second-best in the NFL, allowing 72.8 yards per game. However, a lack of chemistry on offense led to a 1-4 record after 5 weeks of football.
Their only win came last Thursday night in Dallas, 24-16. Rookie QB Jalon Daniels was steady with one TD pass and 189 passing yards. The star of the match was running back Bucky Irving, who had 21 carries for 165 yards and a touchdown.
Steelers vs. Buccaneers Predictions
The Buccaneers will attack on the ground, but we don’t think it will work against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has a formidable defense and knows how to stop teams like Tampa Bay.
