The 9-8 Bucks and 11-6 Eagles are scheduled to meet Monday night at Raymond James Stadium to conclude the NFL’s Super Wild Card Weekend, with Philadelphia the Marked as the winner.

Despite the fact that Tampa Bay has won five of their last six games at home and Philadelphia has lost five of their last six, the odds still favor Jalen Hurts and co in this game. As of Monday afternoon, the Eagles were still a three-point favorite over the Bucks.According to mybookie.ag). But is Tampa Bay becoming the favorite in this game?
NFL Network good morning football Whatever it is, the answer to that question is yes. Make game selections, the majority of the crew supported the Bucks. It started with Jason McCourty, who recently selected Tampa Bay safety Antwon Winfield Jr. as the league’s best defensive back this season (As a result, Winfield won the championship belt.).
“Eagles vs. Bucks. The Eagles are a team with experience that went to the Super Bowl last year and of course they’ll bounce back…of course not. I’m with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” McCourty said. “The Eagles continue to play terrible football. Tampa Bay, I think Baker Mayfield is going to have a day. I’m working on this with the Bucs.”
Peter Schrager made another pick specifically favoring Tampa Bay. Shout out to newcomer Yaya Diaby And I predict Todd Bowles’ defense will keep the Hurts in check, setting up an interesting NFC divisional round matchup next weekend.

“Can I name your favorite name in this game?” Yaya Diaby! Kariya Kanshi! ” Schrager said. “I might not be watching the Buccaneers this year. Their defense is young, they’re fun, and I’m going to be crazy about Jalen Hurts. I know the offensive line takes pride, but I don’t like the Bucs. I’m looking forward to the Lions vs. Buccaneers regional round. That’s why we love the NFL. Nobody did that in the summer. I’m going to the Buccaneers.”
Kyle Brandt then had the only opposing opinion on the match. He said he likes the Eagles to find a way to emerge with an ugly win.
“Can I reply to your Yaya Diaby? Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, D’Andre Swift,” Blount said. “I know them, I feel like I remember them, and I think they’ll find a way. The Bucs haven’t played very well either. Their win in the South is I know, we didn’t finish the season strong. We’re saying 17-16 Eagles in a very ugly game, but I feel like we got the Birds.”
Assuring there would be no draw, Jamie Ardahl became the third person to name the home team for the game, adding a new twist to the Eagles’ ‘Eagles Fly’ rallying cry.
“I’m going to say, fly the Bucs flag,” Erdahl said. “I’m also going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”
That’s 3 out of 4 good morning football The hosts choose the Bucks to survive and advance to next week.

Not surprisingly, given his fan base and continued support for the team that drafted him, former Bucs captain Gerald McCoy will definitely be in action for Tampa Bay on Monday night. He was scheduled to play at Raymond James Stadium and by Sunday night was already making plans for next weekend in Detroit.
“Hey Lions, see you at Motown, baby!” McCoy said on NFL Gameday Sunday night. “That’s what I call you, yes. Hey Lions, see you at Motown, baby.”
McCoy, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 draft, has an interesting connection to the game, not only as a former Bucs player, but also as a former Oklahoma Sooner. Obviously, Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield is a 2017 Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Oklahoma. Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts may have started his career at Alabama, but he finished it as a Sooner and was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2019.
But there’s clearly no question who McCoy is rooting for on Monday night. He will run with Mayfield and his former team under the lights at Raymond James Stadium.
