What they're saying

The Bucs are going for their first three-game winning streak of the three-year Raheem Morris era, a milestone they absolutely have to reach if we're to take Tampa Bay seriously. You've got to hit your layups in the NFL, and facing the Manning-less Colts at home might be as close to an automatic win as exists in today's NFL.

The picks

Would have loved to see a Peyton Manning-Josh Freeman matchup because Freeman has so much of Manning's smarts and fearlessness and precociousness. But Freeman won't need any of that fourth-quarter comeback magic. Bucs, 24-9.

Peter King Sports Illustrated

The Bucs have found a way the past two weeks and seem to be growing on defense. Getting the running game going with LeGarrette Blount has helped. Bucs, 23-13.
