Statnerds Sunday Afternoon Guys,
Forgive the staggered release of plays today. Looking to establish consistent times for release of games. Will try to avoid it in the future.
You hear us say it all the time, or at least write it, we are looking for value, value and value. This game defines it.
Okay, so one team beat the other by a combined score of 68-10 in 2 games LY. The team that lost starts a rookie QB. We know Garcia is on the sideline today, we ask if it even matters. Afterall, Jeff only threw for 268 yards...total, two games, that is it, and still the blowouts. So, we offer that the QB position matters little for TB in this one.
And yes, Turner was great and Ryan had a good debut in the NFL. Anybody see 21-0 Green Bay today? Point is Detroit defense is second to none, but in the bad way. Birds blasted 2007's worst defense. Today they go on the road, with a rookie QB, into a hostile enviorenment to face a playoff team from LY that is 0-1 and desparate for a win and LY's number 2 D.
Throw in fav being 12-4 L16 in this series, and the fact line was 12.5 last time Atlanta visited Tampa, did they really improve by neary a TD, and we find our value.
Tampa Bay -7
