Heard on the radio Barber will be matched up with Porter, by far the fastest of Oak's receivers. That leaves Tim Brown and Rice against the other corners, who aren't bad either. Think Barber will take Porter out of the game completely...giving Rice and Brown the short slants over the middle...think a few hits from Lynch will stop them in their tracks.....TB linebackers as quick as cats and think they can close ground quickly on swing passes to the backs and short tosses to the tight ends....that leaves the running game....not exactly what got Oak to the Superbowl. I can see Oak controlling clock but have trouble breaking big plays. Think TB has a better chance against a very average Oak D to put 3 TDs on the board....when asked what SuperBowl most compares to this one, Steve Sabol, the ESPN film producer who's seen them all said the Giants versus Buffalo...a good comparison in my opinion...with the high powered no-huddle, short passing type of offense being stymied by the better D...and the Giants O nothing special but not making mistakes and captilizing when they could....so I think this game stays 3 points or less....maybe a wide right again for the Tampa win. Tampa Bay 24 Oak 21
