Tampa's Defense is more mature and smarter than last year. Deuce wont be running all over Tampa like he did last year. NO is struggling, Tampa is lookin to buy time as they nurse there secondary. Tampa bay will not lose this game, this is a revenge because they lost both last year to NO. I like Tampa in this one.
I was at last years opening game in Tampa vs. Saints and most of you know the outcome, Saints won it with a blocked punt in the end zone. Seems Tampa doesn't match up very well against the saints for some reason. Another think I've noticed about the Bucs is the defense usually has more problems with bigger, taller receivers than most.
I Like tampa to win the game but I dont like laying 7.5 points with a team who is 1-2 at home and has failed to cover as a favourite several times this year..I can almost gurantee Horn will eat that secondary and they will at least try to establish deuce...saints are to the bucs what kyrptonite is to clark kent...leaing towards the dog here.
seems like the way they're playing this year, they'll either cover the spread, or lose the game outright. Can New Orleans make it 3-0? I doubt it with that defense which was put together with duct-tape. Look at what they did to the Cowboys at home, why should NEw Orleans do any better? no doubt Gruden is going to have an answer to their 2 losses last year. Or not, who knows.
