Indianapolis Colts

Tampa Bay has yet to get a win in the preseason yet. Some of that stems from the fact that Brady has been gone for a bit and the teams offense has sputtered. The last game for the Buccaneers ended up being a loss to the Tennessee Titans by a score of 13-3.

Buccaneers Offense

Offensively the Buccaneers ended up using a pair of quarterbacks. The quarterbacks ended up going 14/29 for 81 yards in the game. The Bucs did end up getting a pick in the game, but were sacked a total of 4 times in the game for a loss of 37 yards. Running the ball Tampa Bay was not much better picking up 93 yards on a total of 22 carries in the game.

Buccaneers Defense

Defensively the Buccaneers allowed the Titans to go 14/28 for 117 yards and allowed a touchdown. Tampa Bay did end up getting a pick in the game, but managed to get 4 sacks for a loss of 19 yards. The rushing defense for Tampa Bay allowed the Titans to gain 138 yards on a total of 33 carries in the game.

Indianapolis is coming to the game here with a 0-2 record in the preseason so far. The last game for the Colts ended up being a loss to the lowly Detroit Lions. The final score in the losing effort ended up coming in at 27-26.

Colts Offense

When it came to throwing the ball the Colts ended up going 21/28 for 261 yards and 3 touchdowns with 3 quarterbacks. Indianapolis was sacked a total of 3 times for a loss of 14 yards. The rushing offense for the Colts was dismal with only 30 yards gained on a total of 18 carries.

Odds from Betonline.ag 

Tampa Bay is coming to the game here with a banged up offensive line. The offensive line was already fairly porous and now is facing a Colts defense that actually has ended up getting a good pass rush going. Look for the Buccaneers to have to hurry to throw the ball, but for the Colts to give up quite a few yards on the ground. Still I see the Colts offense doing really well here against a weak Buccaneers defense and the total to stay under as Tampa Bay does not have an offense that can do much.
