Former Buccaneers Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski Picks Bucs To Win Against Eagles
The predictions are rolling in this week on what teams will win during Super Wild Card weekend and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski recently cast his vote as well. Appearing on the Up & Adams show with Kay Adams Gronk thinks the Bucs will upset the Philadelphia Eagles at home on Monday Night Football.
While Gronk notes the Bucs have been inconsistent, he says they are kind of hot right now and points out that it is a home game for them.
"Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield are going to turn it up a notch a little as well," Gronkowski said. "Same as Chris Godwin he's going to come through and make some big plays for the team."
As for the Eagles, Gronkowski doesn't think they will continue their success from the beginning of the season. Saying they took a "fart downhill losing five of their last six and don't think they can pick up the slack from where they left off at the end of the season."
Gronk goes on to say he thinks that there is some kind of bad energy going around that is engraved in them and holding them back.
The energy around the Eagles has certainly been bad after a 10-1 start. They are also dealing with injuries to key players on the offense in Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and Devonta Smith. Add in the fact the weather calls for rain and this could be a game the Buccaneers find a way to win.
Drawing the Monday Night Football slot during Super Wild Card Weekend all eyes will be on the scrappy Bucs as they look to upset the Eagles and advance to the Divisional round.
