PIT
TBIn context
BillAnd I think this would be a crazy spot for Pittsburgh. Is Pittsburgh really going to be 4 -2?
BillTo me, it's more likely we haven't heard the last of the NFC South.
BillAnd we're just going to be merry -go -rounding that top spot. And Tampa is 2 -4 after this weekend. And we're like, holy shit, Tampa's back in this. So I'm taking Bucs plus 2.5. I thought about waiting until Sunday and hoping it goes to 3, but I don't. I think it goes the other way.
BillI think it ends at 1.5.
HouseI led with an NFC South team and I'm right here joining you with yet another NFC South team. Oh, you're taking them too? I sure am. They were sitting right there for me.
HouseI like everything that you just observed. There are some good numbers in terms of, you know, Todd Bowles and Aaron Rodgers haven't faced each other a ton, but Aaron Rodgers is only one and two against Todd Bowles. But what I really like inside the X's and O's is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers like to play cover three.
HouseAnd Aaron Rodgers, historically, not a fan of cover three.
