Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Denver Broncos Odds and Betting Stats

One of the more entertaining NFL betting games on Sunday could be when the Denver Broncos (3-1) host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) at 4:05pm EST on FOX. Odds makers have the Broncos -3 point favorites at home in NFL odds against the Buccaneers with a total of 47.5. The Broncos offense has bailed them out in most games but it couldn’t do enough last week in the loss to Kansas City. The Broncos rank 30th in the league in yards allowed and 31st in points allowed.

"We've got to find a way to be more consistent," cornerback Dre' Bly said. "Defensively, we haven't had the year we want to have." The Broncos still could be unbeaten though if their offense had not turned the ball over four times last week and settled for field goals. "Any offense that does that to a defense, there's no chance," said Denver head coach Mike Shanahan, "People will point to the defense, but that's so far from the truth. We've got to play better. We've got some work to do. But it was not quite as bad as it looked in those final stats."

The Bucs have won three straight and are tied for first place in the NFC South with Carolina. The Bucs have been led by linebacker Derrick Brooks and a defense that makes plays. "Unbelievable," coach Jon Gruden said. "We know he's been nursing and working through an injury. What he played like today was the Derrick Brooks that everybody recognizes. He made plays sideline to sideline. There's a lot of strength left in Derrick Brooks and we need him in the final 12 weeks." Tampa head coach Jon Gruden has not had much success against Denver. He is 1-8 in his head coaching career against the Broncos.
