‘Thursday Night Football’ Week 8 expert picks: Ravens at Buccaneers

The NFL opens Week 8 with a pretty fun matchup—compared to recent “Thursday Night Football” games—between the 4-3 Baltimore Ravens (+1.5)

and 3-4 Tamp Bay Buccaneers. Both teams were expected to be Super Bowl contenders entering 2022, but their seasons have not quite gone to plan.

The Buccaneers have four losses in their last five games, the last two coming against the Steelers and Panthers... yes, the “we just fired our head coach and are selling off players” Panthers beat them 21-3 last week. Yet, somehow, they are favored against a good Ravens team.
