Seahawks vs. Buccaneers betting preview

Odds: Seahawks -3.5, over/under 44.5

The Buccaneers rallied late against the Eagles in Week 4, but a blocked punt and two turnovers set the tone for the loss. Mayfield is averaging 226.0 yards per game and has eight touchdowns and just one interception this season, but he has also been sacked eight times. Tampa Bay's defense, which ranks fourth in the NFL with just 272.2 yards allowed per game, didn't have an answer for Jalen Hurts and will use Sunday's game against Darnold to right the ship.

Darnold's game has improved as the season has progressed, and he currently leads all quarterbacks -- alongside Baltimore's Lamar Jackson -- with 9.1 yards per pass. Mike Macdonald's defense has been the star of the show for the Seahawks, however, by minimizing big plays and holding the opposition to just 16.8 points per game. The Seahawks are particularly good at defending the rush, which could spell trouble for the Bucs if Bucky Irving (foot) can't suit up.
