Latest Odds : Buccaneers -3 Total 47.5
What a great matchup of two teams fighting hard to make the playoffs but at first glance it really looks like they are trying to scare you off of taking Tampa Bay as I would think the Colts woulda be a slight favorite here to a PK as I have their roster better especially on defense. Tampa Bay though has won 2 straight games coming into this game with wins over the failing Jaguars and and Falcons.
Tampa Bay has seen a slight resurrection of Winstons season as he was far in the hole interceptions to touchdowns but since has closed the game still Jameis Winston has 20 picks on the year to just 22 touchdowns but he has two of the best wide receivers in the NFL today and the best tag team for sure in Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Both should make the pro bowl and week to week have propelled this Tampa Bay team.

Chris Godwon has 74 receptions and 1121 yards with 9 touchdowns and Mike Evans has not been to far behind him with 7 touch downs on 1096 yards and 66 receptions just 8 behind Godwin. Tampa’s Achilles heal is their lack of a running game we have seen glimpses of it out of newly anointed starting running back Ronald Jones who has 482 yards on a 3.8 per carry average.
Indianapolis no doubt misses Marlon Mack their all star running back who has been injury bothered all season only getting 862 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns he still is a huge part of their offense and with him gone the teams focus on the passing game who is also missing their top receiver in TY Hilton.

Free Betting Pick: Buccaneers -3
TY Hilton has had an injury plagued season also only getting 35 receptions and 378 yards and 5 touchdowns luckily for the Colts they have Zach Pascal who has filled in nicely getting 473 yards and 4 touchdowns a real pleasant surprise for the Colts. These teams have not met up since 2015 a game that the Colts had won 25-12. Look for this game to be surprisingly defensive as I see this one getting won and covered late by Tampa as they win the game 24-17.
