Pats open as 5.5 point underdogs vs Bucs

[NFL Mystique]

I'm guessing the line will move up. Probably Bucs as 7 or 8 point favorites by kickoff.

Betters could also be prisoners of the moment and focused on the Bucs getting mauled by the Rams. Had TB won that game, the line would probably be higher.

The positive is that the Bucs D plays right in our O current skill set. The short/screen passing game. I thought Bowles would adapt but no. All 3 teams they faced, used the short passing game to avoid their pass rush and attack their corner. It’s sad that white got injured because I think he would have had a good game.

5.5 will probably be 7.5 by end of the week.

Not expecting a win for the Pats next week, just wanting a game without all the mistakes.

I just hope the team isn't an embarrassment- slthough that seems likely

The Bucs secondary without Murphy-Bunting & Dean is horrible. Granted the pats couldn’t move the ball vs. the Jets. The spread makes sense if you think they can score more than 20 points.

I really hope the Pats played vanilla on offense yesterday and are saving it for this game, but I doubt it…

I'd be happy if that's all we lost by next Sunday. Can't imagine anything Brady wants to do more than drop a 50-burger on his former team next week.

I think we will be very lucky if we lose by single digits.
