A year ago that would have made me nervous. Okay, I'm still a little nervous. Odds and averages are strange things and I'm still gunshy and have a little PTSD from past seasons being let down. Help me. lol

I see that games build up as a battle between Marcus Mariota and Winston. Mariota has looked better thus far in Pre season. so had to go with Tenn

Moreso, I was taking the home team.

I think I will be switching to that game on and off just to see how the 2 top QB fair. That and the Mia/Was game and Hou/KC

I think Mariota mobility will help him in that game which was why I gave the edge to Tenn

I start cheering against our division rivals like it's week 17 and we need help to get in.

Every game is a 'must-lose' for them.

TB has more weapons around the QB. Winston doesn't have to do as much as Mariota will be required to do. Should be a fun game to watch but TB should win the game, just a better team, I think.

Oh I agree, both teams are not that good. But TB has Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans Doug Martin.. pretty decent talent around a rookie QB. Compare that to Harry Douglas, Kendall Wright and Bishop Sankey. Both have good coaches and I think both their Defense's will be below average. The overall Talent is better especially on offense for TB, now what they do with it is another story, I mean, it is Tampa after all.

True, valid points. I know these guys have only had pre season but based on watching both guys I think Mariota I think will make the fewer mistakes and while agree winning is about team I also think poor play by the QB can lose a game faster than anything. I think this game comes down to which QB makes the fewest mistakes.
