We’ve got an interesting Thursday night matchup with the 4-3 Ravens actually underdogs on the road at 3-4 Tampa Bay. When we last saw the Buccaneers they were getting upset 21-3 by the lowly Panthers as -13 point favorites. Before that Tampa Bay lost 20-18 to Pittsburgh as -10 point favorites so the Bucs have cost bettors some money lately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This game has all the makings of an oddsmakers trap. Who is going back on the Bucs when they’ve not only failed to cover double-digit point spreads the past two weeks, but actually lost those games outright? Tampa Bay has been held to 21 points or less in six of their seven games this season and Baltimore is the sixth highest scoring team in the NFL at 25.9 ppg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tom Brady<\/strong> is obviously going to take a lot of the blame for the Buccaneer’s skid. The 45-year-old looked his age<\/a> going 32\/49 for 290 yards against the Panthers with 0 TD, and Carolina is just 2-5 on the year. Baltimore’s defense has had their issues defending the pass (261.3 ypg) so Brady will likely put up some numbers – but will it be enough? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
