00:03 The Battle of the Bays here.

00:04 We got Tampa Bay and Green Bay taking on each other at Lambeau this week.

00:08 The Packers crashed down to earth in the game you just mentioned.

00:11 Like I was just, you know, they were big favorites.

00:13 Now the odds makers are like, let's hold the phone here.

00:15 We're not gonna make them a touchdown favorite.

00:17 I would guess that any other game this year, I don't care who they play against.

00:20 Over on BetMGM, three and a half point favorites, total of 42.

00:25 The Packers offense played well enough to win that game last week, but

00:29 they came up short on a kick in the end.

00:31 What do you make of this line?

00:32 >> Well, I thought Jordan Love played pretty poorly.

00:36 I don't know that I would concur that they played well enough.

00:39 I think they struggled.

00:41 And I'm worried about them in this spot if the Bucks get their defensive

00:45 players back.

00:46 However, that's a big if.

00:48 We have to look at the final injury report because there's a number of

00:51 Buccaneers defenders that are still missing practice.

00:55 And if those guys aren't up for this game, and

00:57 if the Packers get back like the Dantavian Wicks, he missed the game.

01:04 I think he got injured in the second quarter, missed the rest of that game.

01:08 If he's back healthy and

01:09 if the Packers have some of their players going offensively, I think the Packers

01:13 are in a great spot offensively to have some success against this defense of

01:16 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

01:18 And then it's on Baker Mayfield to chase and try to do battle with them.

01:23 I think this game has the potential of going over the total, but

01:27 I need to wait and see what that final injury report is.

01:30 Because as of now, there's a lot of murkiness on the side of the Tampa Bay

01:34 defense as to who they're going to get back.

01:37 Matt LaFleur has to kickstart this offense, has to get them back on track,

01:41 has to dial up some things to increase Jordan Love's confidence,

01:45 which was at a high earlier, has sort of diminished a little bit with that

01:48 performance this past week.

01:51 I think they can get back on track if this Bucs defense is as banged up as they

01:55 might be.
