Buccaneers vs. Cardinals Final Thoughts and Pick

While Arizona had the tougher matchup against 8-0 San Francisco, the Bucs and Cards both battled hard during their Week 9 contests. With Minnesota (6-3) holding the final NFC playoff spot, neither of these teams appear headed to the 2020 NFL postseason.

Arizona is 2-2 in road games this season, while Tampa Bay has yet to win at home as it is 0-3 including its loss to Carolina across the pond in London as the designated home team. Two of the worst defensive teams in the league square off in this contest and we are siding with the better offense here.

Pick: Buccaneers -4.5

Season record: 0-0
