Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Indianapolis Colts Prediction
There is a reason this game screams over. We probably have the highest total of the weekend. We have the Bucs on a short week. Traveling on a short week is harder to prepare. We have the #1 scoring offense in Tampa and the Colts aren't too shabby themselves, scoring over 40 in 2 of their last 3 games.
What really helps is we have the #1 team in takeaways as the Colts D knows how to get the ball and the GOAT (Brady) has been turning it over nonstop including giving the Giants their only touchdown last week. The Bucs have the best rush D in the league that means they can stop the run but can they stop the best RB in the NFL who is also just as dangerous on the slant pattern. A little pass to Taylor is like a run and this man is in the zone and can't be stopped right now. Short passes to JT (or other players) is also smart because it keeps Wentz from making his usual mistakes (the turnover king). If you haven’t noticed, the Colts have been winning lately because they have turned into a bruising running team not a Wentz making mistakes team (3 out of last 5 he hasn't thrown for 200 yards).
We already know Brady will score since they are the #1 offense averaging 31 a game, I see a lot more passes to Taylor getting him into wide-open spaces if they can't run early. When you look at trends or other numbers they all point to the over including head to head and don't forget Brady played the Colts many times in NE in the old Manning-Brady era of shootouts. The Colts know they have to score and turnovers will probably get us good field position and some extra points. 52 is a high number but we are on a fast track field, weather won't matter and if they do settle for FG’S we should be good at anything under 50 yards. I project at least 58 points in this game in what should be one of the highest-scoring games of the weekend. There is only one way to go here and that's with the OVER. Enjoy this game for your fantasy team because it will be a fun scorefest with plenty of touchdowns.
