With everything against the Bucs, it looks like our boys are headed for a defeat - and with the 16 names (Money now in doubt) on the injury report, it wouldn’t surprise me - but I won’t bet against this team.
I mean, if I bet, I wouldn’t 😎 …
Yeah, this will be a tough one. As will the next two games.
That being said, lots to like from a betting perspective.
Taking the Seahawks to cover. Over on JSN's yardage. And, the over on KW3's rushing+receiving prop (60.5)/
As far as the Bucs, you've got Baker's rushing prop. Like Shep over on both receptions and yardage. Tucker over on rushing (24.5).
I like all of those angles, they look solid, so good luck to you.With everything against the Bucs, it looks like our boys are headed for a defeat - and with the 16 names (Money now in doubt) on the injury report, it wouldn’t surprise me - but I won’t bet against this team.

Expecting a win this week almost feels like a bridge too far, but I still can’t pick our Bucs to lose this game, even though my head says it’s shaping up to be a loss. I think Grizz is calling some great stuff, but it gets muddied by the line issues - and that right side is still a problem. Bowles has brought this defense along and seems to have the depth at some key positions, they’re beginning to look solid everywhere (except ILB).
It’s going to test our limits, but I’m going with my gut on this one. Bucs 24-Seattle 21.
Call me crazy, or maybe it’s my late-Buckeye victory haze, has me feeling optimistic this morning.

How about taking Egbuka to score from outside the red zone? He’d be the first WR to do that this year, with a lot of his extended family in the stands…
@white-tiger He did it last week on like a 77 yard TD
Yep, I think it would be a good bet, if you were into that sort of thing…
Per Schefter:
"Turns out that Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving’s shoulder injury, which he did not report to the team until Tuesday last week, is more of an issue than his sprained foot, per sources. Irving is dealing with a shoulder subluxation that is expected to sideline him at least two weeks. Irving will not play today vs. the Seahawks and he’s not expected back for next week’s game vs. the 49ers, either."
Bucky sidelined “at least” two weeks. Awesome.
how long before Raschaad gets injured now? These injuries are out of control.
If Evans is in that game it likely plays out differently. The Bucs struggles in the RZ
"That starts with executing in the red zone, as those drives stalled out at Seattle’s 12- and 18-yard lines. Converting those is critical but becomes that much more paramount when facing good teams. A 14-0 game would have made things that much more difficult for Seattle to get back in, much like how the Eagles put the Bucs down by that amount early last week. Instead, the Seahawks came back and took a 14-13 lead in the third quarter."
The offense is missing four starters and has the 7th scoring offense.
The defense is missing two starters and has the 23rd scoring defense.
Another year where the offense overcomes injuries and doesn't need excuses, while the defense under-performs.

while clearly the offense is the strength of this team and as expected heading into the season; the defense has played better and have given us a chance to win the games.
Grant it, they were butt cheeks yesterday and gave up a 99 yard drive but they also forced 2 turnovers and that LVD INT won us the game.
They gave up just 17 points to the Eagles as can't really fault them for blocked punt TD or Bucky fumble that wasn't a fumble! Didn't even allow Eagles to complete a pass in the second half.
To me, the special teams has been brutal and is setting up the team for disaster, in particular when you face top tier teams. We can't have them being brutal like they've been and expect to win games against Detroit, Philadelphia, or Buffalo.
A concern to me is what is going on with the defense in the second half? Aside from the Eagles game, they have fallen apart against the Jets and Seahawks in the last 3 weeks.

This is more a story than the defense, as pointed out in another thread. It wouldn't be if the defnse doesnt improve, but at the moment its a real problem

What are the defense injuries that create "excuses" for yesterday's WIN? Lol.
They had two CBs out? That maybe impacts the way they defended. They still won and on a defensive play. But the problem I think most would take from yesterday would be no pressure and poor LB play? All healthy except for Kancey, but the team is probably used to that

Obviously, the ST TD isn't on the defense. That doesn't fall on Bowles the DC, but it does fall on Bowles as the HC.
I'll disagree on the TD allowed after Bucky's fumble. The defense is allowed to get a turnover themselves. They can also hold the opposing team to a FG attempt. But they didn't do either of those things. They allowed the touchdown. The defense gave up 24 points to the Eagles offense.

Napes. The Buc's D allowed -3 yards total in the second half of the Eagles game. You can't turn the ball over twice and get a punt blocked and blame the defense. Or you can, but you would prolly be new to football.
