Tom Brady and the 2-0 New England Patriots host the 0-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday in a Game that GTBets Sportsbook has the Patriots listed as -7 point favorites with a total of 43.5. Now, the Bucs are 0-2 by way of losing by 1 to the Jets and by 2 to the Saints. The Patriots are 2-0 as a result of a 2 point win over the Bills and a 3 point win over the Jets. Vastly different won/loss records, but by a hair. Either of these teams could be 2-0, 0-2 or 1-1. It’s been that tight.
The public of course, likes to imagine that this is the Patriots of the last several years. They are always the last to react to changes. They just know Brady + Belichick = money in the bank, based on past history. They have shown that by backing the Pats at 5dimes.com as 73% of all wagers on this Game have come in on the Pats. 95% of the action is also on the under.
We were high on the Bucs heading into this season and we aren’t ‘t ready just yet to abandon ship. The Patriots and Brady may get that offense humming by the time we reach the halfway point of this season, but right now it would appear that they are still getting the kinks out and it may continue to be a good opportunity to buck the Pats. This Bucs defense looks solid and a full touchdown is hard to pass up in this spot. We’ll take Our chances with the Bucs. Tamp Bay +7
