Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Colts 23

Moneyline (?)

The Buccaneers (-176) are a moderate favorite, but you’re better off playing the spread. If you like the Colts (+145), they’re a much better value on the ML.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bucs moneyline returns a $5.68 profit with a Tampa victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The BUCCANEERS (-3.5, +100) are laying three and the hook, and that’s always a worry for bettors. However, the way the Colts (+3.5, -121) looked last week with the Tennessee Titans marching the ball up and down the field, the Bucs look like a safe play at home.

Over/Under (?)

OVER 47.5 (-106) is a good play based upon Tampa’s struggles against the pass, and the solid passing on both sides. The Bucs held the Jacksonville Jaguars down last week, but posted plenty on offense. They won’t hold the Colts in check, as Indy is much more gifted, and they might get a big bump with Mack returning to the backfield, too.

Jason Pierre-Paul doesn’t appreciate you taking pictures of his car

See what Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul had to say on Instagram about people filming his sweet ride.

Here’s a fun little PSA for you all on a Friday afternoon, courtesy of Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul.

The star defensive end, who missed the beginning of the season while recovering from a fractured neck he sustained in a car accident this offseason, took to Instagram today to voice his displeasure about something near and dear to him — people taking pictures of his car!

Check out the video rant below from JPP, who caught someone filming his super sweet ride. The car windows must be tinted since the person clearly didn’t see Pierre-Paul until he rolled the window down.

JPP has 3.5 sacks in six games this season. He’ll look to keep the pressure on Indianapolis Colts quarter Jacoby Brissett this Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay will look to make it three-straight wins against a struggling Indy team, who have lost four of their last five games.

Colts-Bucs Injury Report (Dec. 5): Jason Pierre-Paul limited in practice

Check out the latest injury report for the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of Week 14’s game at Raymond James Stadium.

The Buccaneers have looked like one of the hottest teams in the NFL over the past two weeks, with convincing wins on the road against both the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars.

And, unlike in past wins when the offense was the one carrying this team to victory, it’s been an all-around team effort on both sides of the ball. Tampa Bay is 3-1 in their past four games since they returned home to Raymond James Stadium in Week 10 following a five-game stretch on the road. It really makes you wonder how this season might’ve turned out had they not had to play road games in Los Angeles, London and Seattle.

The Colts have lost four of their last five games and have seen their playoff chances slip away. The Bucs would love to put the final nail in the coffin on Indy’s season, and, with the way Tampa Bay has been playing of late, there’s a could chance they’ll do just that.

With that, here is the injury report for both teams for December 5.

Bucs-Falcons Injury Report (Nov. 21): Jason Pierre-Paul limited participant

Check out the latest injury report for both the Buccaneers and Falcons ahead of Week 12’s matchup in Atlanta.

The Buccaneers defense will be tasked with trying to stop Matt Ryan and Julio Jones this Sunday when they take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road.

Star pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul missed practice yesterday for the Bucs while dealing with a knee injury. He was a limited participant today, which is an encouraging sign, considering he’s a key cog in this defense. Given that Pierre-Paul overcame a fractured neck to play this season, a knee issue shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Jameis Winston, who’s been dealing with an ankle issue suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Saints, was a full participant again today, so all signs point to him starting against Atlanta. (Sorry all you Ryan Griffin fans.)

Here is today’s injury report for both the Bucs and the Falcons.
