Vegas is the place to be when people want to take a chance and hope “Lady Luck” smiles upon them. When it comes to the NFL, nothing makes people think they have a better chance at winning money than all the knowledge they consume in today’s internet age. However, when ESPN released its 2018 over/under predictions for the NFL in January, it left me shaking my head. No, not because I disagree with the number they placed on the Buccaneers, but the entire idea in general.
The Bucs’ over/under was set at 6.5. For a team that just finished 5-11, you’d think that would be fair, right?
