Tampa @ St Louis

bblight · Aug 18, 2003

10-13 after this weekend, but up 2 units for the season thanks to the ML.

Dog days continue tonight :

Tampa +3 @ St Louis for 1 unit and +135 ML for 1 unit.

Tampa is on a roll - the second and third stringers are playing better than a lot of 1st stringers on other teams. The Rams scored 6 points at Oakland last week and allowed 7, while the Bucs won their second rd game - winning at Miami in an oven of heat 20-19 after creaming the Jets 30-14 in Osaka. I don't see this team losing a preseason game - and as dogs, they're a great buy!

I notice that the Panther is also on the Bucs - how can I go wrong?

Good luck!

Good luck BB, your inching back towards .500. I hope you lose tonight though, sorry

Especailly to Martz - he is a wuss in preseason and I think Gruden will feed off of that.

Thanks JayPaw - I think we have a winner here.
Hey Chad - May the best team win - but I don't think it'll be the Rams.

Good luck!

Yep

Looking at Faulk all smug on the sidelines speaks volumes about the motivation of the Rams in preseason and if you ask me I think it speaks to their continued decline since their last super bowl appearance - despite all their talent.

Its true that this game seems setup for TB but hey look, Mike Martz has got to realize that this team needs to play well tonight even if they don't win. I went with the Rams because I believe that Gruden & company (namely the defense) will now start to slack off some not wanting to get anyone hurt plus this makes X game #3 for them with two to go. Also they have less guys fighting for roster spots. My feeling is win or lose tonight TB becomes a play against team the rest of NFLX!
