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.

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.
