In Week 7, the NFL is putting on two primetime matchups with the first pitting the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) going against NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) inside Raymond James Stadium.
The Ravens have stomped back after the 0-2 start to win their next four games. Baltimore won its first AFC North battle two weeks ago against Cincinnati, and the Ravens survived a good contest against the Washington Commanders.
Tampa Bay has gone 2-2 since starting the season 2-0, earning victories over Philadelphia and New Orleans while losing to Atlanta and Denver over the past four weeks. The Buccaneers are looking for their first victory over an AFC team this season on Monday night.
Will the Ravens fly past Tampa Bay, or will the Buccaneers shoot down these high-flying birds? We’ll cover that and our three best player props in tonight’s matchup between these two playoff-contending teams.
Live player props data coming soon for Lamar Jackson.
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson OVER 51.5 Rushing Yards
Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson has been spectacular to start the season. The two-time AP NFL MVP has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,529 yards and 10 touchdowns to start the season. He’s also his team’s second-leading rusher with 403 yards on 63 carries and two scores.
Mobile quarterbacks have had field days against Tampa Bay. Washington rookie Jayden Daniels recorded 88 yards on 16 carries to lead his squad while Denver rookie Bo Nix had 47 yards on nine carries.
Jackson will look to run against Tampa Bay. The quarterback should easily eclipse this player prop bet on Monday Night, finishing with over 52 yards against this Buccaneers defense.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Baker Mayfield | Over 244.5 Pass Yards | |
| Baker Mayfield | Under 245.5 Pass Yards | |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield UNDER 260.5 Passing Yards
Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield has been strong this season, completing 70.9 percent of his passes for 1,489 yards and 15 touchdowns to start the season. He’s also run for 136 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
Against strong defenses, however, Mayfield has been underperforming his averages. Against Atlanta, Denver, and Detroit, Mayfield finished under 200 passing yards in all three outings. He’s facing a stiff test against Baltimore, so bettors should predict he will not cover this player prop bet.
Live player props data coming soon for Derrick Henry.
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry OVER 5.5 Receiving Yards
The Ravens landed a once-in-a-generation running back this offseason by signing Derrick Henry. With Baltimore, this Pro Bowl back has amassed 704 rushing yards and eight scores, and the player has 49 receiving yards and another touchdown.
Tampa Bay’s run defense has been up to the task for much of the season, holding every running back to under 85 yards on the season. Yet the Buccaneers have allowed at least one running back to eclipse 13 yards receiving in four straight games, giving bettors confidence Henry will catch at least one pass for six yards during this Monday night contest.
Best Bet: OVER 49.5 Total Points
Tampa Bay and Baltimore have both posted strong offensive showings this year with each team scoring over 30 points in the past three weeks. It’s hard to see that stopping this week as neither defense has been extremely dominant to start the season.
A final score reaching the 30-point mark for at least one team – if not both – would be expected for this Monday Night Football game. Expect the Ravens to score against the Buccaneers, and Tampa Bay will need to figure out Baltimore’s defense to keep this contest close.
