As the NFC South race gets tighter and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ schedule gets easier, dropping games isn’t an option going forward.
The Bucs are 4-6 as it stands, but they’re still in the NFC South race in second with the Atlanta Falcons. The New Orleans Saints lead the division, but they’re only one game up at 5-5, so getting a win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12 would be huge to stay in the thick of it this late into the season.
The Colts, meanwhile, are also surprisingly in the mix at 5-5. The team is only one game back from the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars, both of whom play each other on Sunday. A win over the Bucs would do well to put them closer to the top, though it’s still a longshot with how talented the two teams above them in the standings are.
According to BetMGM, the Bucs are 2.5-point underdogs against the Colts. The over-under is set at 44.5.
Will Tampa Bay get a much-needed win over Indianapolis and stay in the NFC South race? Or will the Colts dash its dreams and get a leg-up of their own?
