Ravens vs Buccaneers Prediction Week 8

Early NFL predictions and picks are from ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI).
Ravens: 32.8% to win
Buccaneers: 66.8% to win

Oddsmakers give the edge to the Buccaneers in this contest. ESPN's FPI also likes Tampa Bay, even though the Buccaneers' offense is struggling to score. The only way Tampa Bay can win this game is by making Lamar Jackson truly uncomfortable, and I'm not sure how feasible that is.

Baltimore has all of the offensive weapons necessary to outgun 45-year-old Tom Brady. I'm taking the Ravens at +2.5 (-104).
