Seahawks Chances To Win vs Buccaneers
Tampa Bay is a 1.5-point favorite on the spread with a 56.3% implied win probability, and the over/under currently sits at about 47.5 points. The Buccaneers have built one of the leagueโs most balanced offenses, ranking second in yards per play and fourth in scoring last season. The Seahawks need to generate turnovers, avoid giving up explosive plays, and keep the game close throughout the first three quarters if they want to beat the likely NFC South favorites.
How The Seahawks Win vs Buccaneers
Seattleโs defense will need to pressure Baker Mayfield consistently and secure takeaways, something Tampa struggled with last season. Offensively, the Seahawks must rely on new quarterback Sam Darnold and elite offensive weapons against a stout Tampa Bay front seven. Protecting Sam Darnold is vital, as he faced pressure on around 20% of dropbacks last season with the Vikings, and a known weak spot for the Seahawks this season. Winning the time-of-possession battle with effective rushes from Kenneth Walker, consistent third-down success, and clean red-zone execution gives Seattle its best chance.
- Strength: Balanced and efficient offensive production with reliable third-down play.
- Weakness: Offensive line issues leading to pressure on Darnold risk stalling offensive drives.
How The Buccaneers Win vs Seahawks
Tampa Bay will win by sustaining long drives through their potent offense, which led the NFL in red-zone efficiency and third-down conversions last season. Baker Mayfield had a career-best 4,500 yards and 41 TDs, while wide receiver Mike Evans recorded his 11th straight 1,000-yard season and will look to build on that this upcoming season. The Bucsโ defense, although middle of the pack overall, excelled at generating pressure and stopping the run last season, with one of the best front fours in the NFL. If Tampa Bay controls field position, wins the turnover battle, and keeps Seattle out of rhythm, they will win.
- Strength: Offense is disciplined and explosive, efficient on third downs and in red-zone situations, and has the ability to create pressure on defense.
- Weakness: Their pass defense remains a vulnerability, and may struggle with explosive Seattle playmakers
