    • Total
      42.5

    The Bucs have proven to be a stout run defense and vulnerable pass defense through 16 weeks. Well, the Saints have seen all seven games this season against bottom-10 pass defenses come in under the projected total this season.

    No team has a worse ATS record at home since 2022 than the Buccaneers (4-10).

    San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Commanders Odds

    The Panthers are the worst ATS road team since the beginning of 2021 (8-16-1), but interestingly enough, they’ve been better than you’d think ATS against the division since the beginning of last season (7-3-1). That won’t factor in on Sunday, but is something to watch for next week.

    The Jaguars are just 9-14 ATS at home since the beginning of 2021 (39.1%).

    Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds
