Sports bettors might want to note that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-0 against the spreads as an on-the-road underdog of 3.5 to 7 points over the last 2+ years. And the under has gone 4-1 in the same situation.

Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman has thrown for 748 yards and six TDs with a single interception over the last two weeks.
However, there is hope for Tampa Bay burying that record, thanks to its solid defense. Theirs ranks third in the NFL, and they’ve allowed just 76 rushing yards per game. Rookie Doug Martin enters tonight’s matchup with 553 total yards of offense.
