Been looking pretty closely at this game....Had originally like TB to keep it close against a terrible NO defense.
Then, I realised...Both teams had played Seattle, in Wk's 1 and 2....thought I'd take a look at how they both performed.
Now, yes, I am fully aware that when Seattle played in TB it was their second straight road trip, and just about the longest trip possible in the NFL.....BUT....Look at this!!.........

FD's: Seattle 9, TB 17
Total Yards: Seattle 182, TB 271
YPC: Seattle 2.4, TB 3.8
Pass yards: Seattle 126 @ 4.2, TB 179 @ 4.1

As I said, not exactly comparing apples to apples, but there is a MASSIVE difference in the defense of these two teams.
TB beat NO 14-7 as 3 point dogs @ NO last year....
Definately think the Bucs are good value on the ML @ ~2.60 (+160)
