J.Coker u36.5 Rec Yds-112
0.56u
Tampa Bay has generated the 3rd highest pressure rate, and Coker has seen his target rate drop from 18% when Bryce Young has a clean pocket to just 10% when he’s under pressure. Jamel Dean is out for today’s game, which improves Tet McMillan’s matchup and could funnel more targets his way. We’ve also seen WR4 Jimmy Horn Jr. start to see an increase in playing time, at the expense of Xavier Legette, and Horn has been commanding a higher target rate than Legette, so his mini-emergence could chip away at Coker’s usage. This is something to keep an eye on any time Horn is targeted today.
On top of that, Coker is due for some catch % regression as he’s hauled in 75% of his targets, which is 13.3% higher than his expected catch rate. All of this adds up to me being slightly lower on him here, with a median closer to 31 rec yds and around a 59% chance to stay under 36.5.
S.Dennis o6.5 Tackles + Ast+126
0.5u
Dennis mixes in on a ton of run plays as he’s recorded a tackle on 17.3% of opponent rush attempts this season, so he specifically gets a boost with Tampa Bay expected to face ~3.6 more rush attempts in this game. He’s also a bit of a liability in pass coverage, so teams tend to pick on him there as well, which gives him a very high floor in this spot.
Obviously, I like his Over 5.5 -149 and could play it safe to keep my win streak of now 12 straight bets going, but I’m going to be more aggressive here and take his alt over of 7+ tackles at +126 since I’m projecting him to clear this around 57% of the time.

Stage of elimination: TB to lose in Wild Card Rd+500
0.75u
I don't trust either of these teams much. The Bucs have won one of their last seven, and Carolina's -67 point differential would be the worst ever by a playoff team.
I'm not playing a side here, but I'd lean Bucs if forced to play. Even playing hurt, I still trust Baker Mayfield more than Bryce Young, and I'll bet on Tampa's veteran postseason experience. Still, I'm not interested at Bucs -3 at the key number.
But what if the Bucs win?
Tampa Bay would still need a Saints win in Atlanta on Sunday to clinch the division and make the postseason, but the Saints have been the best team in the division for half a season already, so the Bucs should like their chances.
At that point the Bucs get a home playoff game against, most likely, the Seahawks or Rams. And that's where I'm ready to pounce.
Seattle and LA are my top two power-rated teams in the league by a wide margin, and whoever makes the playoffs from the NFC South will be my worst playoff team. I already bet Seattle -6.5 in Tampa Bay on the contingent Lookahead line at FanDuel.
I'd make both the Seahawks and Rams more than a touchdown favorite in Tampa. If the Bucs do win this weekend and get help from the Saints, I think they get blown out in the playoffs anyway.
I'm betting the Bucs' "stage of elimination" to lose in the Wild Card Round at +500 (DraftKings). That's priced at 17% and I make it around 22%, simply parlaying three teams I like better in their matchup.
If Tampa Bay does survive the weekend, this is suddenly a +500 moneyline ticket on Tampa's opponent next week — juicy!

Planting my flag early on this one. Would’ve loved the 3.5 but it didn’t pop in my state in time. Either way, as long as we get a -110 +3, I’m in on the Sad Cats, they’re the better squad right now.
