Heading into the year this matchup against the Green Bay Packers was one of the more interesting contests on the Tampa Bay Bucs schedule. But now more than halfway through the year the Bucs have been a disappointment while the Pckers are probably better than anyone could have expected them to be. All of that means that the Bucs, even being give a lot of point on the road, likely don't stand a chance, even to cover the spread. For a little perspective, here's a little writeup from Vegas Sports Betting.
The Buccaneers are a young team, and when injuries begin to factor in to the equation and the losses start to add up, it can be hard to turn things around. Head coach Raheem Morris understands the uphill road that Tampa Bay will have to climb in order to have a shot, and will look to inspire confidence in his troops at every turn. The Buccaneers will need to find a way to move the ball on the ground as they try and get back in the win column, while the defense simply has to be better. Tampa Bay ranks in the bottom-five against both the run and pass, and if they bring those sports betting numbers to Lambeau Field they are going to get lit up.
