Ravens vs. Buccaneers Betting Picks 

Laying -3.5 on the road in the NFL is tough, but not as tough when we see a high Total. With that being said, I just can not get there with the Ravens in this spot. I would rather look at the total in which both teams have the potential to put up a lot of points. 

Baker Mayfield leads the NFL in touchdown passes with 15 and Lamar Jackson is the third-ranked passer according to PFF. 

Both teams have trended towards higher scoring, with the Ravens at 5-1 and the Bucs 4-2 to the over.

The total has crept up during the week and from the time I started to write this article to when it went live, the number went up from 48.5 to 49.5/50.5. 

A secondary bet on this game would be taking the Ravens over their first half team total of 13.5 and Mayfield over 1.5 passing touchdowns.

Ravens vs. Buccaneers Best Bet: OVER 49.5 (FanDuel -115)

Ravens vs. Buccaneers Prediction

Both offenses can put up points and I think we get some fireworks here on Monday Night. Let's hope we get an exciting back and forth game that comes down to the wire.

Ravens 30, Bucs 27
