Our picks for Bucs vs. Jets

Pick against the spread: Buccaneers -16.5 (-110)

Despite being on a bad wheel, the Buccaneers should be able to handle the 4-11 Jets. They defeated the Carolina Panthers in Week 16 by a whopping score of 32-6, and Tom Brady still has enough firepower to cover the spread against a New York defense that allows the most points in the NFL to their opponents.

Over/under: Under -45 (-110)

The Jets’ last two matchups have hit over 45 points, but the Tampa Bay defense hasn’t allowed double-digit scoring to opponents since Week 14. For a team that still needs to win the remainder of the regular season to have a shot at home-field advantage in the playoffs, we can go ahead and guarantee that the Bucs will be on their game.
