The Buccaneers hadn’t lost a single game by more than 8 points all season this year, before getting blown out 41-0 against a sub .500 Saints team last week. They quit down the stretch last season and while I think it’s unlikely that’s happening again under disciplinarian Greg Schiano, it’s definitely evident that this is a streaky team. After starting 1-3, the Buccaneers won 5 of 6, before now losing 4 straight and it’s very possible they continue that streak all the way to 6-10.

St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 16 NFL Pick
St. Louis Rams (6-7-1) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-8)
The Buccaneers got destroyed in New Orleans last week, losing 41-0. I generally like taking teams off a blowout loss. Teams in this situation tend to be overlooked, undervalued, and embarrassed. The most recent case of this was the Cardinals’ blowing out the Lions as huge home dogs last week after that 52-0 loss in Arizona the week...
