Go Bucs!

 

Love to see an early lead on 2 TDs to Evans, one of them a long one

The remaining player props will be interesting to see once they’re released. Especially Evans. 

5 receptions and 85 yards away from hitting a $3M bonus. 

He also gets a $666,000 bonus if he finishes in the Top-10 in TD receptions. He’s currently ranked 4th (11 TD’s), so he’s in good shape. But, another one would ice it.

JMac is currently at +200 for an ATD. Good odds for a WR who’s hit pay dirt 6 times in his last 4 games.

Some other props worth noting around the league based on contract incentives:

  • Geno Smith - 185+ yards to hit a $2M bonus
  • D. Henry - 1 TD to hit a $500K bonus
  • T. Pollard - 83+ rushing yards to hit a $250K bonus
  • J. Mixon - 107+ rushing yards to hit a $250K bonus

Somebody needs to cover Olave.  If the Bucs come out flat we do have something to worry about.  "Any given Sunday".  There's not a team in the NFL that can't come out and beat any other team if they aren't ready.  I don't expect the Saints to lie down for us.

Yeah, an independent neurologist.

Well he's practicing fully, but hasn't been cleared.  Coach says he has to improve his conditioning, which may be coach speak for "We need a better draft pick."  They slot into the 10th pick right now, but could move up a couple spots or drop down a spot.  Not much draft impact, because they were dumb enough to win five games before they went into the tank. 

But in recent weeks they lost to the Commanders by one and they were tied with the Rams in the 4th quarter - two playoff teams.  We'll see.

So who from our secondary will newly pop up on the injury report for this week? It’s been a recurring theme all season.

Kamara hasn't practiced and is doubtful and Olave is questionable but not likely because he isn't in game shape.  Kendre Miller is also out.  I'm breathing a little easier because those guys probably aren't playing.

The problem has not been the Saints offense.  The Saints defense when they decide to show up can fluster the Bucs offense.  That front seven is very capable of very good play just as much as poor play.   Bucs offense has to tough it out and stick with a ground game until the time is right to exploit the Saints secondary with play action.

Olave was FP all last week as well and did not play.  He is unlikely to play.  No different than Carolina, run the ball. Saints run D is not what it used to be to be.

I can't help but think this game will be a Bucs rout. The Bucs have all the incentive given the possibility of a fourth straight NFCS title and a playoff game on their home turf. The Saints are just playing a poor season out without some of their top players. The earlier game was Bucs 51-27 in New Orleans. The margin of victory will be similar, and the Bucs cover the -14 spread.

I feel like EVERYONE are making these bets so Vegas won't let it happen.

Could be wrong...also I made some of these bets.

Henry TD, Evans 90 yards, Geno 240, Sutton 70, Murray 50 Rush
