This Sunday Night game is interesting for a number of reason...both the Panthers/Saints have already lost to the Raiders. Tampa losing this game doesn't have much effect in regards to their division. Saints have already lost to the Packers...and the Bucs just beat them. Saints beat the Bucs in week one...so the rematch is already set-up week 9. Bucs have the lowly Giants week 8...if the Bucs beat the Saints after dropping the Raiders game...they are even in the division with the conference tie breaker.
Conversely...this is a national prime-time game in their new stadium against tongue-kissing Tom. Assuming KC beats the Donks...they will will risk being behind 2 games in the standings...and 3-3.
Bucs are the better team...just coming off a 38-10 win over the undefeated Packers. It will be a major victory if Vegas out-right wins this game...for the league AND the casinos. The set-up is there...Raiders would have beaten Brees, Mahomes and Brady.
If the Raiders win this game with questionable officiating again...well.
We'll see how the NFL wants to play it...fairly called game, Bucs win.
Getting the Raiders to the post-season is priority #1 for the NFL this season...
