Bottom Line
This game features two teams trending in opposite directions. The Buccaneers are fighting for playoff positioning, while the Cardinals are in rebuilding mode. Tampa Bay’s defense and home-field edge make them favorites, but Kyler Murray’s potential return adds volatility. Expect a physical, lower-scoring contest with Tampa Bay likely to grind out a win.
