The Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both enter Week 13 on three-game losing streaks.
The Cardinals were underdogs in their last three contests, but the Bucs were -2.5 favorites in a 28-23 loss to New England in their last home game.

Cardinals Injury ReportBuccaneers Injury ReportEmeka Egbuka, Wide Receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There has been a strong receiving corps in Tampa Bay with the likes of Chris Godwin and Mike Evans in recent years, and rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka has joined them this season.
The 19th overall pick is 12th in the NFL with 749 receiving yards and has six touchdown catches this season. The Rams held him in check with just three catches for 32 yards last week, but he was still targeted eight times and will be a big part of the Bucs’ offense for years to come.
The Cardinals have allowed a few big games to receivers this season, and Egbuka should be looking to bounce back after a down week.
The status of Baker Mayfield will go a long way in this one. The Bucs came down to -2.5 favorites after opening at -6.5, but are now back up at -3 after a positive injury update on Monday night.
The Cardinals have lost three straight games and eight of their last nine with the lone win coming in Dallas. And most of their losses haven’t been particularly close. Maybe I’d take the Cardinals at the opening line, but I’ll back the Bucs at -3 or better.
Pick: Buccaneers -3 (-108)
