Thursday Night Football gives us 2 teams currently in flux. Both the Ravens and Buccaneers (+1.5) have dropped 2 straight games. Tom Brady opens as a home underdog on primetime, which is something we are certainly not accustomed to. You'll hear this stat a lot heading into the game, but it's worth mentioning, “Tom Brady has never been two games under .500 in his entire career”. If Brady loses Thursday night, it will be the first time. Something to monitor. The story of the Bucs over these last 3 games has been their collapses defensively in the second half of games. Baltimore has averaged 15.7 second half points per game on the road this season and could spell disaster for the reeling Bucs.
