Best Buccaneers-Eagles prop bets for wild-card playoff round
All odds courtesy of Sports Interaction
1. Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers — OVER 234.5 passing yards (-115)
Although Mayfield is dealing with injuries to his ankle and ribs, he's in line for a strong passing effort against an Eagles defense yielding the second-most passing yards per game (252.7). While the Eagles' stout defensive front could give Mayfield some trouble, as long as his steady group of blockers give him clean pockets, expect Mayfield to make amends for his 146-yard showing against Philadelphia back in Week 3.

2. D’Andre Swift, RB, Eagles — OVER 60.5 rushing yards (-115)
Swift ran all over the Buccaneers in their previous meeting, totaling 130 yards on 16 carries, and another potential 15-plus carry day gives him every opportunity to record at least 61 rushing yards. While the Buccaneers' run defense has been one among the game's most efficient relative to their EPA/rush numbers(-0.168 EPA; fifth), it hasn't been that great on a down-to-down basis, ranking 16th in rushing success rate (40.1%). Add in Jalen Hurts' middle finger issue on his throwing hand, and we could see a run-heavy game plan from offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, an obvious plus for Swift bettors.
3. Cade Otton, TE, Buccaneers — OVER 22.5 receiving yards (-110)
Coinciding with a strong passing performance from Mayfield, look for Otton to thrive over the middle of the field against a reeling Eagles secondary. Otton's 100 percent route participation numbers figure to lend themselves to a handful of targets on Monday night, and with his receiving yardage prop sitting at an attainable 22.5, a number he's gone OVER in four of his past seven games, we'll take a shot on one of Mayfield's safety blankets thriving in an advantageous spot.
4. Jake Elliott, K, Eagles — OVER 1.5 field goals made (+110)
Elliott has done his job when called upon this season, knocking in 93.8 percent of his field goal attempts (30-of-32), staking his claim as one of the league's best placekickers. Although it's tough to project exactly when a team's drive will stall out, we think the Eagles should be able to move the ball into the Buccaneers' territory enough to give Elliott two-plus field goal attempts. Elliott made all three of his field goal attempts against Tampa back in Week 3, so at +110, we'll bank on the steady placekicker hitting his OVER.
