The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have opened the season with a 2-0 start after a big win in Houston against the Texans. It wasn’t pretty as the Bucs struggled offensively in the second half. However, after shaky play from the offensive line, the Buccaneers overcame their struggles in the closing seconds with a game-winning touchdown drive lead by the heroics of Baker Mayfield and Bucky Irving.
But how do the oddsmakers feel about Tampa Bay’s next matchup at home against the Jets? Per FanDuel, Tampa Bay is a 6.5-point favorite for Week 3 of the 2025 regular season.
Point spread: Buccaneers -6.5
Point total: 44.5
Moneyline: Bucs -320, Jets +260
Tampa Bay’s struggles will hopefully end next week at home. The game will feature the 1976 jerseys, which were the team’s inaugural look then as they celebrate their 50th season. That’s great from an optics perspective. But the game is won on the field and on the scoreboard. Offensively, they may still have some challenges they need to overcome against a lesser opponent.
Next week’s game between the Bucs and Jets is scheduled for Sunday with kickoff set for 1:00 PM ET.
