Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 15 matchup
Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) will look to avoid heading into a full tailspin when they host Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (9-4).
Can Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and the Tampa Bay offense get back on a winning trend against the defending AFC champions? Or will Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Joe Mixon and the Bengals' offense do enough to outpace the 45-year-old quarterback? The game is expected to kick off Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET from Raymond James Stadium.

Lorenzo Reyes: Bengals 31, Buccaneers 13
This is uncharted territory for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, who are completely disjointed on offense. Tampa Bay has covered the spread just one time in its last 11 games. The Bengals, meanwhile, are rolling, having won and covered five in a row. I think this is a line that could move considerably so grab it quickly.
Safid Deen: Bengals 34, Buccaneers 17
One of these teams is struggling mightily to stay afloat this season (Buccaneers), while one is on the rise (Bengals). Pretty easy pick here, I’m taking Joe Burrow and Cincinnati over Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.
Richard Morin: Buccaneers 24, Bengals 23
The Bengals have injuries to Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd and might be vulnerable to a Buccaneers upset here. Brady and Co. need to bank some wins if they hope to rise above the rest in the mediocre NFC South, and a win over the defending AFC champions pushes them in the right direction.
