10-30 Bucs host Raiders 1:00pm

 

Bucs haven’t won at Ray Jay and the Raiders are 4-0 on the road. It’s a good thing the Bucs secondary has improved because they’ll be facing one of the toughest wide receiver duo in the league in Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.  Quarterback Derek Carr was 23-37 through the air and one touchdown in a win over the Jags, but was helped out by the return of running back Latavius Murry who scored two rushing td’s. The Raiders defense is suspect, but last week against Blake Bortles, the Raiders had two picks. Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston is doing a much better job of not turning it over. On the season, Winston has thrown for 1,596 yards with 12 touchdowns and nine picks. The Bucs have been relying on running back Jacquizz Rodgers to tote the pill the past two games. Rodgers has 324 yards on 69 carries. This should be a good game.  The Raiders spend the week in the Tampa Bay area instead of flying home after the Jags game. The Raiders stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota and worked out at IMG Academy in Bradenton.

 

Miami Dolphins have a bye. Jaguars played on Thursday night.
