The NFL schedule makers did a good job with this one. In the game of the week, and possibly the year, 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 vs Bill Belichick. While one team is significantly more talented than the other, this will be must-watch television.
The following Buccaneers vs Patriots NFL betting preview will give you the current odds, betting trends and picks for the Week 4 matchup, along with a stream link to watch games all season long.

Tom Brady is back in Foxboro, but this time he is in the visiting locker room. Fresh off a loss to the Los Angeles Rams, you can bet this Buccaneers team will be out for blood. We even had some drama between the coaches this week, so the storylines will be at an all-time high. While Brady is coming back to his old stomping grounds, tight end Rob Gronkowski will not be on the field, due to a rib injury. Still, Tampa is loaded with plenty of receiving weapons to fill the void.
On the other side, this Patriots team is not where Belichick would like them to be this Sunday. The offensive line hasn’t been great, and rookie Mac Jones has certainly 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’s possible Belichick could create a bit of magic on Sunday Night Football.
