It’s nearly kickoff, which means it’s time for our usual Sunday bundle of anxieties and excitement. As is custom, I’ll choose one of each that will be occupying my mind over the next three or so hours, and I hope you’ll share yours.
Feel confident about keeping this one close
The Buccaneers offense is a mess. Perhaps they’ll get untracked against an Atlanta defense that bends in all four cardinal directions but doesn’t often break, but it seems unlikely that Tampa Bay will pour on the points the way they have in recent matchups. Tom Brady is older, sadder, and banged up, Cameron Brate is out, and at least four of their receivers are dealing with ailments.
