Many player props are available today for this Week 15 matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Buccaneers were blown out by the 49ers last week, 35-7, dropping their record to 6-7. Despite the losing record, Tampa Bay still leads the NFC South, but they have just a one-game cushion over Carolina and Atlanta. The Bengals, after a slow start, are up to 9-4 and will look to secure their sixth straight victory today.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Match Details
Fixture: Cincinnati Bengals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Date & Time: Sunday, December 18, 4:25 p.m. EDT
Venue: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida
NFL Player Prop #1: Samaje Perine Over 12.5 Rushing Yards (-125)
Samaje Perine operates as the Bengals' backup running back, and even with starter Joe Mixon back, Perine should see enough touches to hit the over on this prop. Mixon returned from a multi-week absence last game, and Perine's carries dropped to four, but he still tallied 22 yards on the ground. In Perine's previous three games with Mixon playing, he's tallied 103 total yards, so expect him to get to at least 13 today.
NFL Player Prop #2: Tom Brady Over 26.5 Passing Completions (-104)
Tom Brady is still going strong in his 23rd season, and lately, he's needed to throw a lot more passes than normal. On the year, he averages 29.3 completions on 44.5 attempts, but those numbers have jumped to 31.4 and 47.8, respectively. Today, he takes on a mediocre Bengals pass defense, and the Bucs don't run the ball that often compared to most teams. Expect Brady to throw and complete a lot of passes once again today.
NFL Player Prop #3: Tyler Boyd Under 3.5 Receptions
Tyler Boyd has been dealing with a finger injury, but he is expected to play today. Recently though, the Cincinnati receiver hasn't been very productive, and he'll likely continue that trend versus Tampa Bay. He got injured early on in his last game, but he's only managed to get to four catches once in the three contests prior to the one where he got hurt anyway. Expect him to record under four receptions again, especially with teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins expected to see most of their team's targets.
