Seems like a fair spread. Bucs are a good team. But you know what? So are the Seahawks.

That's what used to be the standard home field advantage, give or take a half point.

The Hawks have had road field advantage not Hfa for two years now. Not taking that bet.

Get the -3 HA tradition -

Just didn't expect us to be ranked that well against them. And I understand it's not a 'ranking' -

Guess they think the money is gonna be evenly divided. Several days for bettors to change it. The big money bets usually come in Friday and later.

I’m ok with it, but it feels like .net is and has been more bullish on the Bucs than most

Don’t get me wrong, they are a very good team, but the hand wringing, especially without Evans, feels a bit heavy

If you wanna crown their ass, crown em….

I respect the Bucs and enjoy watching Mayfield. Any given Sunday, they could come in and whip us and vice versa.

But..

The Bucs won their first three games against the Texans, Falcons, and Jets by a total of 6 points. Those teams aren’t exactly juggernauts. They then lost at home to an Eagles team that is not nearly the same team that won the SB last year (although they are still very good).

Most (still week 4 admittedly) power rankings have the Bucs substantially higher than us. We will see I guess, but I just don’t get it.

Based, in part, on some of the numbers on Rows 4 and 5 in this chart, I do like Seattle's chances:

Literally the best Coach interview snippet of all time!



The best. Hands down

Holy you're sure right.

Um the Eagles numbers are scary.

San Fran's not so much.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

Bucs are a resilient team that takes on Baker Mayfield's identity. They are extremely banged up at the moment at O line, WR, and all over defense. They barely beat the Jets, Falcons and Texans (6 total points between the 3 games)

It will be close but I think I like the Seahawks odds in this one. A couple months back I circled this in pen as a loss, not anymore.

Doesn't suprise me with all the tangibles in our favor, plus they're a walking MASH unit right now.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Let's just get the W. Then laugh at all the excuses. Because, as always.......it won't be because the Hawks played well. It'll be because the other team "had too many injuries"

Rinse and repeat, for years. It's rarely the Hawks that win. It's the other team that loses.

And even when they win, people complain if they aren’t perfect in every play for every player. Sometimes I wonder if some of these people even live on planet earth.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

SO this. They didn't win by 5 touchdowns, they suck!!!!!!
"They almost lost!!"

but...............................they didn't.

Just sayin

 

[Kamcussionator]

After we snuck by Arizona last week, I hope we have learned to finish games. We should be the better team, but Mayfield has 4th quarter heroics in him. We can't let up.

But to be fair, we're a fairly trauma induced fanbase some days -

SB48 I wasn't comfortable until we were 3 touchdowns up. For real.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. This is Seattle

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Mayfield wins you over with his escapades in the pocket, but he'll be facing his toughest test against our DL. He'll either be getting the ball out quickly, or our D-line will.
