Predictions for City of Tampa

mutineer10 · 12-14-2004, 08:43 PM

Tampa\'s rush defense has been exposed a time or two this season, most recently by Atlanta and San Diego. They rank 22nd in the league vs. the run, but are the NFL\'s best against the pass. It comes down to play calling - we need to get committed to the run early, and not freak out when we get behind by a TD (and we will in the first quarter).

Their offense is far from fearsome, but is solid enough to hold the ball a long time against our already pitiful defense. Stop Pittman and get some pressure on Griese, and we\'ve got a shot:

Saints 24
Bucs 20
