TAMPA BAY
Gruden is great off the bye. Carolina is in a tailspin and they can't get out of it. They can't score and their defense will not keep them in games as the season wheres down. Tampa's offense is starting to get the Gruden system. I know the Vikings don't present much of a defensive challenge, but it was just what the Bucs needed to get rolling.
Tampa sees the chance to seize control of the division in the coming weeks. They need this game first, because GreenBay comes to town next week followed by a sunday night showdown at New Orleans. This team knows damn well they have to go 6-1 to get homefield through out which is their only shot to get to the Super Bowl. Is that Possible? Probably a long shot at best. Make no mistake they will take care of buisness Sunday at home against an inferior Panther team. Very strong play in my opinion.
This is the only Favorite I like this week.
Tampa- 8.5
If you think the 8.5 is too high.. Alot of value in using them as a key team in teasers.
