10-7, +8.20 Units

Looks to be a tricky game tonight anyway you look at it with the number sitting on 2.5 at most places (you can get 3 with the underdog if you so choose to you just have to search). We've seen that some like the Rams because of the whole rivalry thing between these 2 so they come out motivated at home. But on the other hand you have the Bucs backers that say Gruden doesn't like losing at all, even if it is the preseason so they will be prepared. We say both may very well be true tonight but we like Tampa in its 3rd preseason game to get by the Rams here by a touchdown or so. Best of luck to all....

3 Unit Plays (3-0 for +9.00 units)
NONE

2 Unit Plays (2-2 for -0.20 units)
Tampa Bay +3.0 at -110

1 Unit Plays (5-5 for -0.60 units)
NONE

Looks like good reasoning - thats the way I'm thinking but now the task for me is - how much to bet...

JAYPAW, well an individuals money management is always important and must be kept in mind. We're thinking that whatever/how much you bet on a medium strength play would do it here. We consider TB to be a good pick but not anything "great" But thats just our opinion, you may feel stronger about it or you may be less sure. Either way you decide, best of luck with it.

I can't speak for anyone else but I have adopted the 25% angle for my games. 25% of my normal unit sounded about right for me but its totally up to you. I bet there are few though that play their normal units in preseason. That way if everything does go south you don't end up hurting your bankroll. This is only my first NFL preseason that I have even tried to cap so maybe I have just been extra cautious. Its totally different from reg season for a fact, but I do love it. And I do expect to come out on the + side after everythings said and done. Later

Hey Jay love the pick tonight. The bucs moved from orlando this week back home to tampa-One Buc Place to practice. The players and Gruden call One Buc Place their "woodshed" because its so old, but they love their facility. Read this story its pretty cool, I think they will come to play tonight...Gruden won't let this team lose.
