Seattle at Tampa Bay (10/19/2008)

I think this is one of the best plays of the week...

I love the Seahawks in this spot. They burnt me last week, but I'm coming back for more. The Bucs are a great team this year, especially playing in Tampa. However, minus last weeks blowout, they are not the kind of team that wins by double digits. Don't be fooled by last weeks blowout. The Tampa defense was responsible for 2 of their scores, returning a blocked field goal for one and intercepting Delhomme in Carolina territory to set up a second TD. This one should be a low scoring affair. I think the Bucs get the win here, but Seattle keeps it under 10. BTW... Double digit dogs are 8-0 ATS this year. That may end with the Gaints this afternoon, but I think Seattle keeps the trend going.

Seattle +10.5

Dont even sweat it brother. Tampa is going to get it done in a big way today. I have to jump in the shower and jet. Going to the game. Talk to you later.

I am a huge Hawks fan here, I like the Bucs in this spot.  The NFC west is 1-6 ats when playing on the road outside of the division.  The one win was the Rams over the Skins.  Seattle has only been able to move the ball on the ground this year.  The musical recievers have really hampered the offense and I look for it to continue with Wallace playing.  Yeah he practiced all week but the Bucs are going to focus on the run and make Wallace beat them and that won't happen.  I look for the Hawks to turn the ball over at least 2 times.  Another note, Seattle's defense is brutal on the road, the Bucs should have no problem running the ball and Garcia is going to make a statement to keep his job.  Seattle's punter is a guy they got from the CFL and he is awful.  The kick coverage is one of the worst in the league and the defense is giving up 3rd down conversions right and left.  Seattle is okay at home but as far as the road goes.

This year

@Buffalo... Smashed

@NYG... Smashed

Last year

@ piss poor Atlanta... lost as a fav

@a bad Carolina team... lost as a pickem I think

@ Philly... pulled one out of their ass and barely won on Tatupu's 3 picks

@AZ... lost

@Pitt... Smashed

@Cleveland... Choked

@STL they beat a bad team

@SF again they beat a bad team

I don't buy into the national TV thing.  Last year they choked at home on SNF against a 0-4 Saints team

Thanks a lot - good input, i was doubting myself but this makes feel better.
