Josh Allen Over 259.5passing yards (-113 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Bucs are allowing 262.5 passing yardsper game but only 95.8 rushing yards.

Allen enters this week’s matchupaveraging 263 yards per game. Based on his opponent and how his team hasstruggled to run the ball this season, we find it hard to believe that he willgo Under his season average against the Bucs.

Allen has thrown for more than 260 yardsin four of his seven games this season. Two of the three games he failed to hit260 were against NFC East opponents. The 169-yard performance against the NewYork Giants was bad, but his 218-yard performance against the WashingtonCommanders was because his team was winning by so much.

The Bills should winthis game easily, but Allen will still be throwing late in the game. First,because that's how you beat the Bucs, and second, because the offense needs tofigure out a lot after three straight bad games.

Josh Allen Over 0.5interceptions (+102 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Bucs have a plus-seven turnover differentialthis season, the best mark in the league. They have recorded six interceptionsin as many games.

Allen has been reckless with the footballthis season. He has seven interceptions in as many games, and he has thrown apick in three straight. The most worrying part about his recent troubles isthat he hasn’t gone against great defenses. The Giants and Patriots havecombined for just six interceptions this season.

The way to beat the Bucs is to throw.More attempts mean more opportunities for Allen to make a mistake. Perhaps hewon’t force throws if his team is dominating, but we still have to take thiswhen the odds are better than +100.

Josh Allen Under 21.5rushing yards (-110 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐

For four consecutive games, Allen hasrushed for 17 or fewer yards. Last week, he carried the ball seven times, buthe still managed just 17 yards. That’s an average of 2.4 yards per carry. Thisseason, he has rushed for 20 yards in just two games. One of those performanceswas greatly aided by a 23-yard run.

Allen has run the ball just 29 times inseven games. Though he’s averaging 5.1 yards per carry, he’s averaged morethan 4.5 yards per carry in only three games this season.

This season, only two quarterbacks haverushed for more than 20 yards against the Buccaneers’ defense. One of thosequarterbacks was Jalen Hurts, who already has 74 carries for 274 yards. Theother was Desmond Ridder who was playing without his starting running back.Nothing indicates that Allen will have the same success as them.
