This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Packers and Bucs get ready to battle on Sunday afternoon and when the smoke clears at the end of this one, I'm expecting this total to have eclipsed the posted number. With a chance of moving one step closer to securing the NFC North, I think that Green Bay comes to play today. In fact, the Packers still have a shot at the NFC's No. 1 seed (with some help) and they'll definitley be looking to atone for last week's listless 21-13 loss at Buffalo; note that the setback snapped a five-game win streak for Green Bay and put it into a must win situation to avoid giving any ground to Detroit who is in last-place Chicago on Sunday: "Everything is right in front of us," Pack quarterback Aaron Rodgers assessed earlier in the week. "We win out, we still win the North." Rodgers will be particularly motivated here after the big egg he laid in Buffalo last week, posting a career-high 25 incompletions on 42 attempts, including two INT's: "This is a road game we have to have," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said on Saturday. "We clearly understand the importance of winning in December, and we need to take it up a notch as a football team." Tampa Bay won't simply roll over though, especially because it's yet to win in front of the home town crowd: "We've come close quite a few times at home," Bucs coach Lovie Smith said yesterday. "Once we get it going – instead of talking about getting that first win, we should be talking about, 'Hey, we haven't lost at home.' ... We realize we have a couple of more opportunities, but what better week than (against Green Bay)?" But slowing down Green Bay will be easier said than done, the Packers are averaging 31.1 points and 383.6 yards per game; and that obviously doesn't bode well for the porous Buccaneers defensive unit which is allowing an average of 26.2 points and 366.6 yards per game to rank 25th in the league in both categories. And things don't get any easier for the home side as it will have to make due without the services of star DT Gerald McCoy, who sprained his right knee last weekend. Note that Green Bay has seen the total go OVER the number in three of its four vs. teams with losing records this year, while Tampa Bay has seen it sail above the number in three of its five vs. teams with winning records this season. When you add it all up, in my opinion, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the sharp move here.
