Sporting a 2-0 overall record and a 0-0 mark within the division, the Buccaneers aim to knock the Packers (0-1 In the division) for a loss.

Check back later for this game's line and total.

Jon Gruden's team was busy last game winning against Buffalo 19-3 as 2-point favorites. The 22 points sent that game under the total of 35.

The Packers lost to Cleveland 26-24 as 7-point favorites. That contest went over the closing total.

Green Bay knows that beating the Buccaneers depends on stopping the run. Tampa Bay will hit them with a ground game that has averaged 168.5 yards per game this season, #2 in the league.

Well, know these two teams as well as any two teams in the NFL..........living here in Tampa and being a GB fan.

What can one say that most of the world doesn't allready know......

TB now sports a fierce running attack with Williams, Pittman, and Alstot to go along with some very talented receivers in Galloway, Clayton, and Hillard.........and the Tampa D is, well the Tampa D we are accoustomed to, swarming and opportunistic led by Brooks and Barber.

Couple this with what is a bad Packers defense, and one would certainly find it hard to believe that Tampa is not going to accummulate alot of yards........on the ground and through the air. Then, as mentioned, you have the very oppurtunistic Bucs defense facing a team with serious offensive line problems and a QB in Brett Favre that will try and win at times all by himself...........which plays right into the hands of the Tampa Bay defense.

Now what I have just stated, most NFL observers with average intelligence would be able to come to the same conclusion on, therefore we must look in other areas that the general public is not so keen on and possibly find a reason to back the BUCS at -3 or the Packers at +3 +105 or better.

Not sure at this time I have found that.

Obviously, if you know me, I am going to take a strong look at the HOME UNDERDOG in this spot........expecially if the line continues to go up.

At present, I have no intention of betting either side in this game at its current price levels.

If the line continues to nudge higher on the Bucs, I may indeed make a play on the Packers..........however I would be surprised if it went to levels that would make me a buyer.

Check back in on Saturday to see if I have found any developments regarding the game that would sway to one side or the other.
