Week 6 – Sunday October 15th

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers return to the scene of one of their more disappointing performances of the 2016 season.  The Cardinals defeated the Bucs 40-7 in week 2 of the 2016 season.

This was after the Bucs had defeated the eventual NFC-Champion Atlanta Falcons the week prior. The Bucs were an improved 9-7 and just missed the playoffs in 2016.

Now they are looking to take the next step.  Quarterback Jameis Winston threw two picks in Arizona last season and will be looking to redeem himself.

Despite both teams having good defense, do not be surprised to see an offensive battle break out. The Cardinals have to play their game though if that is to happen, otherwise if Tampa keeps it low scoring, they may be the victors here.

Arizona will be looking to rebound from their first loss of the season in Philadelphia.  I would expect the Cardinals to pull this one out but it will not be as dominant as the 2016 game.

Arizona 27 Tampa Bay 21
