**Eagles Set for Nail-Biter against Buccaneers in Tampa**

The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both holding a 2-1 record, are set to face off at Raymond James Stadium this Sunday at 1 p.m. Despite the impressive overall performance of the Eagles this season, none of their games have been straightforward wins. Their victory against the Packers required a late 16-play field goal drive, while a blunder in the final moments allowed the Falcons to seize one game. Additionally, it took a miraculous 61-yard catch by Dallas Goedert to clinch the match against the Saints. For 14 consecutive games dating back to last season, the Eagles have yet to win by more than one possession—a testament to their nail-biting style of victory.

Anticipation is high for another closely contested, low-scoring game this Sunday. While the Eagles showed significant improvement on defense against the Saints, questions remain about the sustainability of their current strategies. Without key receivers, their offensive depth will be tested again. However, if Saquon Barkley capitalizes on the Bucs' weak run defense, ranked 25th in the league, and Jalen Hurts avoids turnovers against a defense with only two interceptions this season, the Eagles might secure another tight win. Expectations include a touchdown from Jahan Dotson and multiple sacks, considering the Buccaneers' near-bottom ranking in sacks allowed. The prediction: a razor-thin 21-20 victory for the Eagles.

Despite challenges with the Buccaneers and a few key injuries, the Eagles seem to be in a strong position following their hard-fought win against the Saints. Jalen Hurts must focus on ball security and handle Todd Bowles' aggressive defense. Though this will be a tough test, the Eagles appear equipped with solutions within their offense. The Bucs' vulnerability against the run, even if Vita Vea plays, should allow the Eagles to gain crucial yardage on the ground. Additionally, Chris Godwin vs. Avonte Maddox in the slot could be a decisive matchup to watch. With Jalen Carter's impressive form last week, a repeat performance in Tampa is on the horizon, ensuring he remains a key game-wrecker for the Eagles.

All signs point to another suspenseful finish, but the consistency in close-game victories might just lead the Eagles to a tight win and a 3-1 record heading into their bye.
