Lorenzo Reyes: Buccaneers 28, Packers 23

This game should be fascinating and both have a case for why they can cover, so I’m going to stick with the team that has been most consistent. Green Bay did bounce back well in Week 2, but that came against a rebuilding Bears crew. And while the loss of Mike Evans certainly will hurt, Brady and the Bucs at home, when giving less than a field goal is too hard to pass up.

Tom Brady’s struggles offensively only get worse as star receiver Mike Evans will be suspended this game for fighting last week against the Saints. With Chris Godwin, Julio Jones and vital offensive linemen dealing with injuries, Brady’s frustrations might boil over in primetime at home against Green Bay. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers figured out they need to ride running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon to open the offense downfield with Davante Adams no longer in the picture. Rodgers gets the best of Brady in this one.

This game sponsored by “Just For Men.” Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers meet for just the fifth time even though they’ve both been in the league since 2005 and have combined for nine MVPs. Brady has won three of four meetings, and his team’s defensive prowess should make it four of five.

Jarrett Bell: Buccaneers 24, Packers 20

Nate Davis: Packers 24, Buccaneers 20
