One look at the total for this game showed me tha the linemaker has made an adjustment in response to Tampa Bay going over the total in 8 of their last 10 games and 5 straight road games. I went back as far as my search engine could go and if the Bucs have had a higher total line on the road than this one, it had to be before 2005.
 
They have the defense to shut down what Denver is doing and going into the game knowing that Denver is a high octane offense, Coach Gruden will slow all of that shit down by pounding the rock, and playing cover two, as he is an expert game strategist. Denvers' run of going over the total this year just met with a line that is too high. No sides for me in this one. Just the under.
 
Tampa Bay/Denver under 48.5

I do think that Tampa will play a good game, but ultimately lose this game.  It's not easier to go into mile-high and come out with a win.  Especially if you don't go there very often.  Griese will be pumped, to face his former team and it may ultimately help to 'force his hand' in making an INT or two.

Denver will be eager to bet back in the win column, after last weekend's loss to KC.  I believe they will do just that.  Under is probably a good play too.  GL

BRONCOS (-2.5)

^lolwut?

DEN 24 TB 17

Seems like an easy play,Graham will have a 100+ game w/ a TD but ultimately Cutler to Marshal for 2 TD's will seal the deal.

Oh man! According to the Las Vegas Insider, 72% of bettors are on the over, and with all of that, the line fell to 47.5. I am getting good movement on that line and I am ready to pound this one hard, as it will be the only play that I make on the secind set of games on Sunday.

Griese had to wins over 2 great defenses of Chicago and the Packers
Denver gives up 33+ points in past 3 games
Tampa will pick cutler off a couple times in this contest
Cutler will not be able to throw as easily as he has been
cutler = 190 - 230 yard game 2 tds 3 int
27-20 Bucs

The Bucs historically haven't been a great road team, and I say the lack of Oxygen @ Mile High gets to 'em. It should be another offensive shootout, but I think the Broncos cover.

Broncos & over

This one reeks of a shootout.  The Broncos gave up 33 points to the Chiefs last week, and looked completely out of place on most of their defensive sets.  The Bucs just continue to do whatever it takes to win games, whether it be passing the ball 70 times, or relying on a kicker who just had to bury his 3 month old son.  This is a team that has all the right tools to go deep into the season.  Unfortunately I think it's just not quite going to be enough here as the Broncs are damn tough at home and they have just seemed to hit on the right cylinders so far at Mile High.  Either way I have it right at the line, but way over the total.
 
OVER  47
 
Prediction:   Broncos  34   Buccaneers  31

Denver is over-rated.  They beat  a very bad Oakland team, Referee Ed gave them the game against SD, they won against NO when NO missed a late field go. IMO they showed who they really were against KC.  Taking the Bucs here.

IM ON BUCS. BUT IM ALSO A FAN. I THINK THE BUCS DOMINATE THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE HERE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. BRANDON MARSHALL CAN DEFINITELY GET OPEN ON RHONDE, BUT THOSE 5-7 STEP DROPS THAT DENVER LIKES TO EMPLOY, WILL BE HARD TO DO AGAINST A MORE SPEEDY PASS RUSH THAN THEY HAVE FACED ALL YEAR. ADAMS IS COMING INTO HIS OWN AS A PASS RUSH SPECIALIST, AND THE ROTATION ON THE DLINE HAS KEPT THE PLAYERS FRESH. THE DENVER RUN GAME WONT BE A BIG FACTOR HERE. THE LINE BACKING CREW IN TAMPA HAS BEEN PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL. SHEFLER MIGHT HAVE A BIG GAME. ITS BEEN PROVEN THAT PHILLIPS IS A LIABILITY IN COVERAGE. BRYANT AND THE REST OF THE RECIEVERS HAVE HAD THEIR TROUBLES GETTING OPEN, BUT BAILEY IS PLAYING ALOT SOFTER WITH LESS PRESS COVERAGE, AND BLY HAS BEEN A LIABILITY SINCE HE GOT TO MILE HIGH. THOSE FACTORS SHOULD PLAY INTO THE STRENGTHS OF THE TAMPA SHORT PASSING GAME. IF THE BRONCOS D RUSHES 3 LIKE THEY DID AGAINST THE SAINTS, THE BUCS WONT HESITATE TO GO RUN HEAVY. THE IMPROVED YOUNG OFFENSIVE LINE FOR THE BUCS SHOULD CREATE PLENTY OF LANES FOR GRAHAM AND DUNN. BUCS 27 BRONCOS 23

What the hell are you talking about. Guess you got the wrong thread or something.

Denver is overrated- I love fading them. Their offense may have trouble holding on to the ball. The only way this does go over is by defensive scores pushing past a very high # of 47.5.

Plus don't you think Griese wants to play a good game in this spot- he should have a fire lit beneath him if he isn't motivated to take out the team that threw him away.

THE BEST BET IS TEASING THE OVER TO 40 IN THIS GAME & ADDING SAN DIEGO PK TO FINISH THE BET.
