This is huge news for the Bucs, as the team is set as an 8.5-point underdog against the Buffalo Bills.
Godwin has been one of the team’s most reliable offensive players this season, so the team certainly is glad he won’t miss time with his neck injury.

Best Chris Godwin prop bet for Week 8 vs. Bills
Chris Godwin OVER 5.5 receptions
Godwin may not be the big-play or touchdown threat that Mike Evans is, but he’s going to move the sticks for this Tampa Bay team.
This season, Godwin has at least five catches in all but one game, and he’s picked up six or more receptions in three straight.
That gives him a solid floor to clear this prop, and with Tampa Bay likely falling behind, the team will need to throw it more often than not.
