Hello Buc 'Em nation,

Indeed there have been some perplexing moves carterlovepie (from two posts below) by the Buccaneers. Since we cannot change the pre-season now we must focus on what is going on in the regular season, which brings us to this week's game.

Our Line: Tampa Bay by 14

As a whole Green Bay is the more fundamental team in this matchup. Sure they have had problems with penalties, but they have taken pretty good care of the football and have yet to throw an interception. The same cannot be said for Tampa Bay, who has a negative turnover ratio even though they have created 5 interceptions on defense. The Achilles heel for Green Bay will be their run defense. If Tampa Bay continues to try and pass the ball two-thirds of the time there is hope Green Bay can win this game on the road. However, if Tampa decides it wants to take advantage of its 5.5 yards per carry average and rushes the football more, we see Green Bay struggling to stay in the game the same way they struggled last week hosting Dallas. We are going to give the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt and go with the latter. The Buc offense can then control the clock and wear down the injured Packer defense by the 4th quarter, giving them a comfortable if not easy victory.
