It's another chapter of the G.O.A.T. (Tom Brady) versus Who's He? (this time, Trace McSorley). The Bucs score -- not very often -- at a 17.6-point clip. Its rushing attack, ranked dead last, makes game-planning easy, and Brady is forced to frustratingly throw short too often. McSorley makes his first start. If he doesn't improve -- this year alone: zero touchdowns, three interceptions -- the Cardinals could flirt with a shutout against a formidable defense. This total hung for several days in the high 30s, then crept up, presenting a shot at some value.

This profiles as a game the Buccaneers win handily with the Cardinals starting third-string QB Trace McSorley. That's a stark departure from how Tampa Bay has had to operate all season, when this team rarely has a comfortable lead to protect. So while Brady has topped 40 pass attempts in 11 of his last 12 games, he shouldn't get anywhere near that total here. Even with that high volume of passing, 300 yards hasn't been a given; he's hit that number just twice since Week 5. This seems like it could go much like the Seattle game, where Brady was 22-of-29 with 258 yards as the Bucs dominated the action for three quarters.
