TAMPA, FL (The Spread) – Will the Buccaneers and Chargers light up the scoreboard in Tampa today or will it be a defensive struggle?

NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, the under is 6-2 in the Chargers’ last eight games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous contest. The over has hit in five straight games involving the Buccaneers so the total for this game is inflated. While the Chargers are just 1-3 in their last four games, their defense held Cleveland to 7 points and the Chiefs to 13 points the past two weeks. Granted, Josh Freeman and Co. offer a bigger challenge, but San Diego’s defense is also a step above what New Orleans and Oakland bring to the table (two of the Bucs’ last three opponents). Look for Tampa Bay’s offense to slow down for at least a week as this game plays under the total.
