Buccaneers Vs. Chargers: Odds, Analysis, Picks For NFL Week 13 Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-San Diego Chargers Week 13 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at (-3.5) San Diego Chargers, Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Mike: Bucs. Tampa Bay is forcing turnovers at an insane rate, having taken the ball away at least twice in five of their last seven games, winning all five. San Diego, meanwhile, has turned it over at least twice in seven games this season.
Andre: Chargers. Hey, Mike. You forgot to mention that the Chargers are pretty good at forcing turnovers, too. They’re second in the league in takeaways with 23. There’s a lot to like about the Bucs, but they’ll fall flat after two big wins against the Chiefs and Seahawks.
Ricky: Bucs. Figuring out what either of teams will give you on a weekly basis is almost pointless, especially now that Tampa Bay’s defense has cleaned itself up in recent weeks after looking like garbage at the beginning of the season. The Bucs are in the playoff hunt and really need a win, though. Plus, you’re giving me more than a field goal? Sure.
