The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts face off on Saturday in an NFL preseason game at Lucas Oil Stadium. When these two teams faced off in November of 2021 it was Buccaneers that secured the 38-31 victory.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven’t had Tom Brady for the preseason so far and it’s hard to imagine they are going to run him out there for this game. In the first game the Buccaneers lost to the Dolphins 26-24 and in the last game they were defeated by the Titans 13-3.
In the first game the offense looked good, but in the last game they really had some major issues moving the ball. Outside the second quarter the defense wasn’t terrible, but they still didn’t do enough.
Kyle Trask completed 11 of his 24 passes for 105 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Blaine Gabbert also played under center and completed 3 of his 5 passes for 13 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Indianapolis Colts
On the other side of this matchup is the Colts who have a new quarterback in Matt Ryan and thye hope he can take them to the promised land. In the first game of the preseason the Colts lost 27-24 to the Buffalo Bills, and in the last game against the Detroit Lions they were defeated 27-26.
In the last game Sam Ehlinger completed 9 of his 11 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Jack Coan also was good completing 7 of his 11 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. In this game the Colts are going to need good quarterback play for a chance to win this game.

4* Free Week 3 NFL Betting Prediction: Colts -3.5
I expect the Buccaneers offense is going to really struggle in this game and that is going to be the difference as they struggle to keep this game close. Look for the Colts to get good quarterback play, and Indianapolis will cover the spread.
