00:00 The reality is, despite some things you'll hear from the rest of this DAS, Gardner Minshew

00:03 is not that good of a quarterback.

00:05 And three consecutive wins for Minshew is something he's never done in his NFL career.

00:09 Tampa Bay is perfect against the spread on the road, which has been very, very impressive

00:14 here.

00:15 I expect points in this game, but now you can get a full three with the Bucs.

00:18 I think they're the clear side for me in this matchup.

00:20 I am with you, and I think Baker has performed well on the road.

00:23 Now they have covered four of the last five on the road, right?

00:26 Or four, yeah, they're two and three straight up.

00:29 They've covered four of the last five.

00:31 That's a dynamic effort out of Tampa Bay, and you have a team in terms of Indianapolis

00:35 that can't win at home.

00:36 They're one and four straight up.

00:38 You talk about Gardner Minshew, 127 and 194 passing yards in back-to-back games.

00:44 This offense is more consistent.

00:46 I think Rashad White and the rushing attack do get involved in terms of this ballgame.

00:51 Indianapolis is allowing 124 rushing yards per game heading into this matchup.

00:56 Over four yards per carry, Donnie.

00:58 I think that's where Tampa Bay attacks.

01:00 I like their defense slightly better.

01:03 Even though they're on the road, they're battle-tested.

01:05 Give me Baker in terms of the three points in this ballgame, guys.

01:08 I don't know if I want to go to Tampa Bay's side here, because they are extremely banged

01:11 up on defense.

01:12 It feels like half their secondary is out, as well as a couple linebackers here.

01:15 And also, Rashad White popping up on that injury report late in the week, which means

01:19 Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin on the outside should have some success here,

01:23 because I'm not really enthralled overall with the Indianapolis Colts' defense.

01:26 From that perspective, I also think the Indianapolis Colts will be able to score points against

01:30 Tampa Bay.

01:31 It's one of those, and again, two and a half, hey, let me lean on the home team.

01:34 Three, I don't know if I like it as much here, but I do think there's going to be points

01:37 in this football game.

01:38 Both teams should be aggressive.

01:39 And also, if the running game isn't working, the passing game should be able to work on
