Is Bucs/Packers Matchup This Week Primed To Be Most Guaranteed Blowout So Far This Year?

Tampa Bay has been horrific this year.

Bucs' best player on defense, Gerald McCoy, is sitting out, among other players.

Green Bay got a wake-up call last week in Buffalo & will be pissed as they look to take that loss out on someone.

Also know they need a victory as they battle with Detroit for the division.

This one could get very ugly...

I suspect to be in the minority, but I like Tampa in this game. With the parity in the NFL, no one team is really that much better or worse than the rest at the top of the league. The notion that the Pack are superior to others, NE, SEA, DEN, etc is a fallacy IMO and vice versa.

The Pack have been incredibly pedestrian on the road.

Dominated by Buffalo
Squeaked by a bad Minnesota team
Dominated by a bad New Orleans team
Needed a last minute miracle to win at Miami
Crushed the hapless Bears
Dominated at Detroit
Dominated at Seattle

I agree, it seems quite logical that the Pack would destroy Tampa here, off a loss, so much on the line, knowing a wild card likely means one and done, Tampa stinks and on and on...

I've found logic usually has little to do with the outcome of NFL games. That being said, I'm still pondering this one, but it will be the DD home dog facing a wildly overrated public side or nothing for me.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.

GB had little trouble solving Lovie's defenses when he was in Chicago.

personally i wouldn't touch this game.

packers suspect at home. back to back road games this late in the season will take a toll (although they did fine vs the bears...but who doesn't?).

I lean an underrated TB but after the loss I am passing because GB might come out with laser focus.

if GB has squeaked by buffalo I would've made TB a top 5 bet this season.

Not sure if anyone remembers Joe Flacco's trip to Tampa earlier this year when he torched the Bucs for 5 first half TD's, but I wouldn't be surprised if it looks something like this Sunday with Aaron Rodgers picking them apart too...

Would think GB first-half bet would be the way to go. Might lose interest and start thinking about Detroit if they are up 3-4 TDs at halftime like they did against Atlanta. Green Bay is going to roll these final two weeks...I did bet Buffalo last week.

3-team 10 teasers, wheeling Detroit, GB, and whatever else you want. Can't see either team losing.
