Total of the Week NFL
(NFL) Raiders (LV) vs. Buccaneers (TB),
Total: 46.00 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
#127/128 ASA PLAY ON OVER 46 Points - Las Vegas Raiders at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sunday at 1 PM ET - We are going back to the well on the Bucs Over the total this week after narrowly winning last Sunday. Carolina/Tampa Bay put up 49 points last week, but it took OT to get there. In all reality that game could have been much higher as TB left a lot of points off the board. The Bucks racked up 445 total yards of offense but settled for four field goals. Carolina averaged a respectable 5.4 yards per play and put up 23 points but also missed a pair of field goals. The Raiders offense has been suspect in recent games, failing to top 20 points in three straight weeks. Las Vegas has averaged 5.7 yards per play in their last three games and put up a huge YPP number last game of 6.9 against a very good KC defense. LV missed 3 FG’s against the Chiefs, had one turnover on downs at the KC 31 and then fumbled late in the game on the Chiefs 32. Clearly the Raiders could have easily put up 27 or more points in that game with a few breaks. Las Vegas will face a Bucs defense that is not very good, allowing 26ppg, 6.0YPP and 4.7 yards per rush. The Raiders have a solid defense this season, but Tampa Bay with Mayfield is 5th in YPP offense at 6.2, 6th in total YPG, 4th in yards per rush and put up 28ppg, 5th most in the NFL. Last week the Panthers played very deliberately on offense but that won’t be the case this week as the Raiders can let everything hang out in this game with nothing left to play for. This turns into a shootout with both teams putting up points.
