The NFL schedule makers did a good job with this one. In the game of the week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be taking on the New England Patriots. However, except for NFL betting purposes, the teams playing have faded into the background since this matchup feels like it is Tom Brady versus Bill Belichick. While one team is significantly more talented than the other, this will be must-watch television. The following Buccaneers – Patriots NFL betting picks preview will provide the current odds, betting trends, and best NFL bets for the Week 4 Sunday Night Football matchup.
NFL Best Bets & Odds: Week 4 Sunday Night Football
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New England Patriots
Date: Sunday, October 3, 2021
Time: 8:20 p.m. EST
Venue: Gillette Stadium — Foxboro, Mass.
Coverage: NBC
Tom Brady is back in Foxboro, but this time he is in the visiting locker room. Fresh off a loss to the Rams, the Buccaneers are looking for a bounce back. While Brady is coming back to his old stomping grounds, Rob Gronkowski will not be on the field due to a rib injury. Still, Tampa is loaded with receiving weapons to fill the void.
On the other side, the Patriots are not where Belichick would like them to be this Sunday. The offensive line has not been great, and rookie Mac Jones has looked like a rookie. However, with the tough Tampa run defense in town, the pressure to win the game will be on Jones’ arm. If he can protect the football and get in a rhythm, it is possible Belichick could create a bit of magic on Sunday Night Football.
