NFL Super Wild Card Weekend 2024 comes to an end on Monday Night Football when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Philadelphia Eagles at Raymond James Stadium. The inaugural weekend of the 2024 NFL Playoffs featured a game delayed by weather, the Packers knocking off the second-seeded Cowboys, and the Texans blowing out Joe Flacco and the Browns. On Monday, the Buccaneers (9-8) and Eagles (11-6) will try to join the NFL's final eight. Tampa Bay won five of its last six games to claim the NFC South, while Philadelphia lost five of its last six to fall from the top spot in the NFC to a wild card team. Eagles receiver A.J. Brown is out with a knee injury.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Philadelphia is a three-point favorite in the latest Eagles vs. Buccaneers odds via SportsLine consensus while the over/under for total points scored is 43.5.

Why the Eagles can cover
Philadelphia linebacker Haason Reddick is one of the best pass rushers in the league. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Reddick led the team and tied for 15th in the NFL in sacks this season, with 11. He will face a Buccaneers offense that last week gave up three sacks to a Panthers defense that was dead-last in the NFL in sacks allowed during the regular season (27).
In addition, the Eagles excel on fourth downs. Philadelphia converted on 73.1% of its fourth downs during the regular season, which led the league. The Eagles also had a success rate of 48.0% on third downs, which ranked third in the NFL, behind only the Bills and Cowboys. See which team to pick here.
Why the Buccaneers can cover
Quarterback Baker Mayfield has played like one of the best running backs in the NFC. The former No. 1 overall pick set career-highs in passing yards (4,044) and passing touchdowns (28) this season. He is one of just two quarterbacks this season to have thrown 28 touchdowns and 10 or fewer interceptions (Dak Prescott being the other).
Mayfield also has excelled in second halves this season. In the third and fourth quarters this year, Mayfield has completed 179-of-277 passes for 2,216 yards and 16 touchdowns against just three interceptions. His 102.7 passer rating in the second half ranks fifth in the league. See which team to pick here.
