Monday Night Football: Colts at Bucs
By Jason Lisk
The popular perception is that this is a blowout waiting to happen, with the woeful 0-3 Colts on the road at the 2-1 Bucs. It’s early, so the results aren’t as well-connected, but Advanced NFL Stats has this as a close game, not because of the Colts’ rating, but because of the Buccaneers, who are also in the bottom 8 after 3 games. The issue with Tampa is trying to figure out just how good or bad the Falcons and Vikings are, as they played close games with each. Tampa was dominated in the first game against the Lions despite the ultimate 7 point spread.
I think we know what the Colts are at this point, but this is a telling game for Tampa Bay, at home, against a team they are expected to beat.
