00:00Let's take you to Tampa, Florida, where the Tampa Bay Bucs are going to be hosting the Philadelphia Eagles at Raymond James Stadium, Sunday, 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
00:09What is AccuWeather predicting? 89 degrees, but here's the kicker, no pun intended.
00:14AccuWeather, real field temperature, 102 degrees, so mostly sunny, humid winds between 5 to 7 miles per hour.
00:22The humidity and the heat, such a factor that the Philadelphia Eagles changed their travel plans and they were actually arriving in Tampa earlier than they normally would so their bodies can get acclimated to the temperatures.
00:34Because as you know, higher heat core, cramping, also late game fatigue.
00:40So with all this, how am I playing the game?
00:43Give me the Bucs getting the 3.5 at home.
00:46This is an Eagles team. They have not had a lot of success against this Bucs team.
00:49In fact, they've lost four of their last five games against the Buccaneers.
00:53On top of that, Baker Mayfield, quarterback for the Bucs, actually plays well in these very hot and humid games.
00:59Beat the Philadelphia Eagles 33-16, as well as the Jets, another cool temperature team, 29-27, both at Raymond James Stadium in hot weather games.
01:11So I do like the Bucs plus 3.5.
01:13On top of that, sneaky good play here, I'm going to play the second half total under 22.5 points.
01:20Why? Because I'm anticipating fatigue to set in.
01:23On top of that, I'm focusing on the Eagles.
01:26And the Eagles total second half under 12.5 points.
01:31So some sneaky good plays based on AccuWeather's weather predictions.
01:34On top of that, here are some prop bets for you.
01:37Wide receiver Ibuka, anytime touchdown.
01:41Let's keep in mind, Mike Evans is out.
01:43He is not going to be playing.
01:44Also, Chris Godwin is expected to play, but will more than likely be on a pitch count.
01:49So Ibuka is going to be the main target for Baker Mayfield.
01:53I do believe he finds the end zone.
01:55And give me Ibuka, as well as A.J. Brown combined, for 125-plus receiving yards wide.
02:02Again, I think the heat is going to be a factor.
02:05I think the Philadelphia Eagles are going to keep everything short and sweet.
02:09These intermediate three, five-yard passes to A.J. Brown are going to add up.
02:14So this is how I'm playing the game.
02:16Enjoy the Bucs and the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday at 1 o'clock.
