Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will beat the Seattle Seahawks. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

Analyzing both teams, the Seahawks may appear formidable with their average of 27.8 points per game. However, the Buccaneers have shown resilience on defense, allowing just 24.3 points per game. This defensive performance is key, as it helps to nullify the perceived explosiveness of the Seahawks’ offense. The Buccaneers’ rush defense stands out, allowing only 94 yards per game, which could significantly hinder Seattle’s ground game that averages 110.8 yards on 30.8 attempts. With Seattle leaning on their run game, I expect them will struggle to find balanced offensive production against a stout Tampa Bay defense.

On the offensive side, the Buccaneers average 24.3 points per game and have a slightly more effective ground attack, registering 124 rushing yards on 28.3 attempts. Their passing efficiency, while not as high as Seattle’s, has been effective enough, supported by a completion percentage of nearly 60.0%. Expect Tampa Bay to exploit weaknesses in the Seattle secondary, particularly if they can establish their run early. Overall, the combination of the Buccaneers’ defensive strengths and their own offensive capabilities should lead to a solid victory, ultimately keeping the total score under the projected number.
