Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Form and Statistics

Tampa Bay’s preseason has started well. They beat Tennessee 29-7 in their opener and then won 17-14 on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the game versus Pittsburgh, the score was tied 14-14 going into the final quarter before the Buccaneers pulled ahead. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 85 yards and two touchdowns on 6-of-11 passing, while Connor Bazelak added 106 yards on 14-of-18 attempts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Team News

Bazelak has been efficient overall, completing 74% of his passes, though most throws have been shorter (5.7 yards per attempt). Ryan Miller has been the main target, and Owen Wright has provided steady production in the backfield. Tampa Bay’s defense has been solid, allowing just 21 points in two games. Injuries are a concern, with Chris Godwin, Tristan Wirfs, and QB Michael Pratt all sidelined, limiting the team’s depth.

Buffalo Bills: Form and Statistics

Buffalo opened its preseason on August 9 against the New York Giants. They trailed 16-10 at halftime and eventually lost 34-25. Mitch Trubisky threw for 138 yards and a touchdown on 9-of-13 passing, while Mike White added two passing touchdowns on 8-of-13 for 112 yards. Ty Johnson rushed three times for 26 yards, and Tyrell Shavers had two catches for 70 yards. Frank Gore Jr. contributed 21 rushing yards and five catches for 50 yards. In their second preseason game against the Chicago Bears, Buffalo gave up points in every quarter, including 21 in the second, and suffered a 38-0 defeat.

Buffalo Bills: Team News

The Bills’ last five matchups include the preseason losses to the Giants and Bears, plus postseason games against Kansas City, Baltimore, and Denver. Offensively, Buffalo still shows scoring potential, ranking second in preseason scoring. Frank Gore Jr. has been solid on the ground, averaging 5.5 yards per carry. However, Trubisky has struggled to move the ball consistently beyond a few big completions to Shavers. Injuries are also affecting the team, with WR Jalen Virgil, RB Darrynton Evans, and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger all sidelined, which impacts an offense that relies on clean protection.

Meanwhile, the defense has given up just 21 total. The bookies have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win at 2.15 odds on the 1xbet bookmaker.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Buffalo Bills Match Prediction 24th August 2025

The Bills come into this game after a 38-0 blowout loss and criticism from their coaches on Hard Knocks. They are technically the favorites, but it’s hard to trust them right now. Buffalo has looked flat and allowed a league-worst 462 yards per game in the preseason. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has been sharp and consistent throughout the preseason. The Buccaneers have reason to be confident and still have plenty to prove before the season starts. At home, backing Tampa Bay as the underdog feels like the smarter choice. With both teams resting starters, whether the Over or Under will hit is a toss-up. However, I'll back the Over because of what the Bills' quarterbacks are playing for this week. Each one is competing to back up Allen.

Our match prediction is Over 35 Total with odds at 1.676 on the 1Xbet bookmaker.

Our betting tip is +1.5 Handicap for the Buffalo Bills with odds at 1.82 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

Our final match prediction is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win with odds at 2.15 on the Betway bookmaker.
