Why the Buccaneers can cover

Tampa Bay dealt with injuries on offense late in the year and won't have two of its top three receivers for the postseason. The team hasn't suffered, however, as it scored a total of 101 points over its final three contests. The Buccaneers ranked second in the NFL with an average of 30.1 points and scored 30 or more in 10 of their 17 games.

Brady led the league with a career-high 5,316 passing yards and joined Drew Brees (five) as the only players in NFL history to register multiple 5,000-yard seasons. The 44-year-old also was first with a franchise-record 43 touchdown passes, marking the second straight year and third time in his career he had 40 or more scoring tosses. Brady threw for at least three TDs on eight occasions this campaign, including in Tampa Bay's 41-17 triumph over Carolina in the regular-season finale, and had a pair of touchdown passes in 28-22 victory at Philadelphia in Week 6.

Why the Eagles can cover

The Eagles lost five of their first seven games, but the club turned it around, winning seven of its next nine, including four straight prior to a 51-26 loss to Dallas in the inconsequential finale. Jalen Hurts and several other key players were kept out of the lineup for that contest and DeVonta Smith played just long enough to set a franchise record before exiting.

Smith made three catches for 41 yards to raise his season total to 916, eclipsing the rookie mark set in 2008 by DeSean Jackson (912). The 2020 Heisman Trophy winner had a team-high 64 catches, five for touchdowns, and averaged 14.3 yards per reception. Hurts, who was given an extra week to rest the ankle he sprained in Week 12, threw for 3,144 yards and 16 TDs in his first full season as Philadelphia's starting quarterback and also led the team with 784 rushing yards and 10 scoring runs.
