Packers vs Buccaneers Expert Picks & Predictions for Week 3 NFL Game

The 2022 NFL season is finally here and the Week 3 schedule is chock full of exciting showdowns. One of the most anticipated matchups of the week is a clash between two NFC heavyweights as the Green Bay Packers travel to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
