Tampa Bay

Let's stay on the roll! This prediction from PurpleHaze:

This week we travel to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers house and hopefully after the dominating performance last week we are back on track. If we play like we did last week on defense this game will be a walk in the park.

The offensive key to winning this game will be to get Moss the ball, continue to find TE Byron Chamberlain and Culpepper has to be smart. Moss has been used very little this season and against the Bucs he should be our prime target. The Bucs are very aggressive on D and Moss will have to go over the middle on short routes much like he did against the Packers. He will take the hits, but the yards he gains this week should put him back up with the leaders.

On defense we have to blitz the hell out of the Bucs. Johnson has been sacked 19 times this season. We know as well as the Bucs now know that Johnson is a pocket passer and posses little risk to gaining big yards while scrambling. He will sit in the pocket and try to find something before he tucks the ball and runs. We have to get to him quickly so he can’t find Keyshawn Johnson. If we get to him often the Bucs will self-destruct.

My prediction is a huge victory on the road. The Vikes will win 28-17.
