Bill Speros writes: "This is still a matchup of first-place teams (yes, you read that right). The Ravens should have the edge with Lamar Jackson's mobility against Tampa Bay's stretched defense. For 22 years, Brady has confounded the doubters. Can he do it again? This line has moved significantly from Tampa Bay -2 to +1."

It writes: "This Buccaneers team has a lot to figure out, and I’m not sure that the short week gives them the mental and physical recovery time they need after that loss to the Panthers. I’m still waiting on Brady to do his Brady thing and will his team to victory, but it’s becoming a question as to whether he still has that ability within him. Ravens should be able to cover the spread on Thursday night."

Fan Duel: Bet the Ravens to cover vs. Buccaneers
Adam Taylor McKillop writes: "Oddsmakers give the edge to the Buccaneers in this contest. ESPN's FPI also likes Tampa Bay, even though the Buccaneers' offense is struggling to score. The only way Tampa Bay can win this game is by making Lamar Jackson truly uncomfortable, and I'm not sure how feasible that is. Baltimore has all of the offensive weapons necessary to outgun 45-year-old Tom Brady."
