Summary and prediction

Lastly, and most important, the quarterback situation has been the their key killer for their entire season. After losing Pro-Bowl quarterback, Matthew Stafford, to injured reserved, the Lions then saw second-string  passer, Jeff Driskel, go down on IR as well.

It’s now up to third string quarterback, David Blough, to right the ship for the rest of the year. Of course, Tampa Bay has had their fair share of rollercoaster play at the quarterback position. Starter, Jameis Winston, will look to lead his team to a fourth straight victory, despite leading the NFL in interceptions.

To wrap up the game summary frankly, it looks like both quarterbacks will throw more than 35 times a piece on Sunday. Just a gut feeling. Defense just wont be much of a factor, unfortunately.

Next. Suh both double teamed, winning below league average rate. dark

Prediction: Over/47.5, Buccaneers -4

In last week’s edition of “Buccaneer Bets”, all three prediction were hit dead on the nail. I firmly predicted the spread was too iffy to touch and that (+ or -3) would be the move as well. Can the Buccaneers make it four in a row by slaying the injury riddled Lions on Sunday?
