Bucs Look to Keep Winning Streak Alive at Dolphins
The Tampa Bay Bucs are in the midst of their longest winning NFL football odds streak in 12 games. That streak is all of one game, but at least it’s a start.
The Bucs have been terrible this year but with its first win of the season coming in week nine and rookie QB Josh Freeman showing a glimpse of promise, spirits are high. Too bad the one-game win streak will come to an end this week in Miami.
The Dolphins are a good football team that just can’t get a break in the NFL football odds schedule.
After enjoying the easiest schedule in the league last year, the team has been paid back with the hardest schedule in the NFL odds this season and the team’s 3-5 record is just as much a product of superior competition as it is poor play.
The game against the 1-7 Bucs is one of the only easy matchups this team has this football odds season and it will look to dominate.
QB Chad Henne hasn’t asked to do too much in the Wild Cat heavy system but has been good when called upon. Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams have been doing the heavy lifting and been doing a pretty good job (150 yards per game, 4th best in the NFL).
The Dolphins D has also been stellar against the run (94 ypg) but just awful against the pass (246 ypg, 5th worst in the league).
That could be a small window for the Bucs awful offense to get something going. But the Dolphins should dominate the time of possession build a lead and run out the clock. The rookie QB Freeman likely won’t have too many possessions to work his magic and the Fins will win easily at home.
