    Bucs Plus 6 at home!!!

    You have to take the points here don't you?

    Doug Martin is back, Evans is hot, DeShaun and Jameis will, eventually, hook up for big yardage plays. NE defense is historically the worst ever at over 1700 yards given up thru 4 games....

    ...on the other side of the ball, Brady with 10 TD and 0 INT is perfect, meaning there is only one direction that performance can go. Despite TB missing 2 LBs this game, they would be in nickle and dime thruout anyway since NE throws more than any other team in football.

    Vegas opened this game at 4, it has crept and crept and crept up to 6. TNF is usually a messy affair, why not take the home team regardless, but here we are getting a full 6 points!!!

    Belechik no stranger to slow starts, but this is a chance for the other team, TB, and their young QB to force a "passing of the torch" so to speak on national TV.

    Feedback?

    Brady is a 40-year old QB being asked to score many points every week because their defense is so terrible. I'm seeing red flags.

    I think he's going to break eventually. As a result Buffalo may win the division. (and I feel Buffalo matches up very well with New England)

    That said, this is Brady. So I'd 'pass' on this game.

    To be honest, I'm going to be contrarian on this one. I think the Patriots get their sh!t together on defense and keep Tampa under 24 points.

    no.

    Bucs have no pass rush, a defense almost as bad as New England
    expect Brady to find big plays. If Tampa had a pass rush and more
    than 1 sack in their first four games I would consider them, but
    I cannot, and Winston is still not trustworthy against an experienced
    Patriot backfield that is eager to re-establish proficiency.
    Btw Brady is the top rated QB in NFL and has 10 TD's with 0 INTs.
    He could do this with college players.

    I think TB will struggle if Pats can score a couple times quickly. If they have to play catch up, I think that helps that Pats greatly. If TB can control the TOP and run the ball... they can cover and it goes under. IMO of course.

    I'd never touch Tampa until they find a damn kicker. Draft one in the 2nd round, bust. Folk, sucks. Not that hard to find a damn kicker. Wasted a draft pick on one, when they could have improved their D. Pats will be ready to roll.

    55 points? No thanks....anything over 48.5 rarified air in NFL games. Too much clock eating to keep other qb off field.

    I think Tampa will go out and run the ball all over the place. That could be their strength against Patriots. Play action all day with a lot of two TE sets.

    And by the way, Tampa has won 5 straight at home.

    Also on the under(55.5).

    With Doug Martin, I think Tampa Bay relies on the run more often than usual. I also don't trust Jameis Winston to put up big numbers.

    Koetter always wants a balanced offense. Tampa will run the ball.
