The Buccaneers and Eagles will clash this week in a battle of undefeated NFC squads. And with the game taking place in Tampa Bay the Bucs should enjoy a fairly significant home field advantage. NFL teams traveling south to Florida in the early months of the season have historically struggled with the humidity of the region; it usually grants a conditioning edge to the team that lives and practices in that sticky weather.
The Eagles are aware of this and are trying to offset the advantage by altering their travel plans. The team revealed on Wednesday they'd be leaving Philadelphia a day earlier than normal to spend an extra 24 hours in the Tampa Bay heat. Baker Mayfield, however, doesn't think the strategy will be particularly effective.
