Bucs Nation
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the season with a 23-20 win against the Falcons in Atlanta. It wasn’t pretty as the Bucs struggled offensively for most of the game. Fortunately, after a shaky beginning, the Buccaneers defense did settle down and held Michael Penix, Jr. and the Atlanta offense in check for most of the game.
But how do the oddsmakers feel about Tampa Bay’s next matchup in Houston against the Texans? Per FanDuel, Houston is a 2.5-point favorite in Atlanta for the first week of the 2025 regular season.
Point spread: Texans -2.5
Point total: 44.5
Moneyline: Bucs +108, Texans -126
Like the Buccaneers offense, Houston has also struggled offensively against the Rams in Los Angeles. At the time of this writing, the Texans haven’t even broken the 200-yard mark offensively in L.A. and they are in the 4th quarter with 12 minutes left to play. It’s a trend across the league where we are seeing offensive struggles throughout the NFL with several teams unable to get into a consistent rhythm offensively.
Will that continue into Week 2? Next week’s game between the Bucs and Texans is scheduled for Monday night with kickoff set for 7:00 PM ET.
