You don’t need me to tell you the significance of this game. Tom Brady and his Buccaneers return to Foxboro to take on the Patriots. The history Brady has with the Patriots not withstanding, there is even more at stake for Brady in this game. Brady needs just 68 passing yards to break Drew Brees all time passing yardage record. This could legitimately come on the very first possession, and all eyes will be glued to that record setting countdown.
Buccaneers vs Patriots Betting Pick
This game will be played at 8:20PM EST on Sunday October 2nd, 2021 at Gillette Stadium.
Why bet the Buccaneers?
✅ The biggest story of this game is Tom Brady breaking the all time yardage mark, but it is also Brady and his weaponry dictating the outcome. The ageless one has been scorching hot to start the season. He’s already accumulated 1,087 passing yards and 10 touchdowns through three games. That start has allowed the Bucs to score over 33 points per contest so far. They have needed it, as two of their opponents brought high end passing games and took it to the Bucs secondary. This version of the Buccaneers is not one that will beat teams on both sides of the ball, but instead will need to outscore its opponents.

✅ The Patriots offense looks to have a bright future with Mac Jones under center, but they have not gotten to where they need to be quite yet. The rookie threw three picks last week, and he is now without James White, a longtime safety valve for Bill Belichick quarterbacks. The Pats backfield brings big question marks and they lack playmakers at the wide receiver position. With Mac Jones still learning the NFL game, there has simply been a lack of scoring success. They are averaging just 18 points through three games and the loss of White is going to bring even more issues. The Bucs secondary is exploitable, but there are huge questions on whether New England can take advantage of that weakness.
✅ Of course this game is going to mean more to Tom Brady, and he is going to put on a show. Even if that narrative holds no water, what he has done thus far this season will be plenty good enough to see the Bucs to beating the Patriots. The experience and overall level of play at the quarterback will be the difference in this one, with the outcome likely being an easy win for the Bucs.
