Heading into the bye the Bucs are sitting nicely at 6-3, but I’m looking at the remaining 7 games on the schedule and it will be an interesting stretch run. After the bye they face Peterson and the Chiefs, then they get Detriot, followed by 3 straight divisional games, and they finish vs. San Diego and the Raiders. I see the Bucs going 4-3 in the final games and ending the season 10-6. A lot depends on getting healthy and playing consistently on both sides of the ball.

Games to keep an eye on for week 10.

Saints (4-4) vs. Falcons (5-3) – Pulling for the Falcons, because I don’t want the Saints to get any kind of run started.

Packers (4-4) vs. Vikings (5-3) – Go Pack, bases on standings.

Panters (6-2) vs. Raiders (2-6) – Go Raiders? Raiders are mess. Al Davis might miss the game due to the filming of Weekend at Bernie’s 6.

Giants (7-1) vs. Eagles (5-3) – Pulling for Giants. The Eagles are going to compete with the Bucs for a Wild Card spot all season.
