00:00We've got a Thursday night football game tonight.

00:02NFC South battle because why?

00:04Not because Atlanta Falcons.

00:05They're already out of the playoffs.

00:06They've been eliminated.

00:07The Tampa Bay Buccaneers going toe-to-toe with the Carolina Panthers here

00:10for supremacy in the South.

00:11But how about this, Joe?

00:13The boys are back in town.

00:14You see that graphic about to pop up?

00:16Minus 4.5 as a favorite towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

00:19A total of 44.5.

00:20But look at the wide receiver trio we're expected tonight.

00:24Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Egg Buka, and in the backfield, Bucky Irving,

00:29along with Baker Mayfield.

00:30The boys are back in town tonight for Tampa.

00:34The healthiest they've been, Joe, in quite some time.

00:38Yeah, but, you know, I mean, we're dealing with rust here.

00:41Like, how effective are they going to be?

00:44I mean, that's the problem here, Donnie, is that it's great to have you back.

00:49But when's the last time we've seen these guys?

00:52You know, and how healthy are they?

00:54Not to mention divisional games, short week.

00:57It's tough.

00:58You know, I tend to usually wait a week when guys like this come back and say,

01:03let them get their legs under them, and then look to get involved with Tampa

01:07maybe next week here ahead of the game.

01:10But listen, they have an opportunity.

01:13They can't afford to waste any more time, Donnie,

01:15because Carolina is right on their heels.

01:18So this should be a very entertaining and interesting game here tonight.

01:22All right.
