Houston TX
The Tampa
Bay Buccaneers have been a different
team this season because of the addition
of veteran quarterback Jeff Garcia. However,
Tampa Bay’s 27-24 victory over the
New Orleans Saints last week was engineered
by backup quarterback Luke McCown.
The Buccaneers, (8-4 SU, 8-4 ATS, 5-7
O/U), should have ample motivation this
week with Garcia back under center as they
can clinch the NFC South with a victory
or losses by New Orleans and Carolina.
Tampa Bay has not had a five-game winning
streak since 2002 when they captured their
only Super Bowl title.
The Houston
Texans, (5-7 SU, 5-7 ATS, 6-5-1 O/U)
are entering this contest coming off
a 28-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans
last week in which starting quarterback
Matt Schaub was injured in the first quarter
and left with a dislocated left shoulder
that will cause him to miss this week’s
contest. Backup, Sage Rosenfels went 17-of-30
for 185 yards with one touchdown and an
interception as Schaub’s replacement.
In his only start this season, Rosenfels
went 11-of-19 for 181 yards with one TD
and one interception in a 24-17 win over
the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 4. The Texans
have rushed for an average of 118.4 yards
in their last five games after averaging
a measly 60.2 per contest in their previous
five.
The Buccaneers lead the NFC in overall
defense, allowing just 291.8 yards per
game while ranking second in points allowed,
at just 15.6 points per game.
