Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 26
On September 26, at the Raymond James Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will put their skills and strategies to the test as the regular NFL season continues. With an exciting match between these two teams this coming weekend, spectators and sports bettors can take a look at the following information as they finalize their bets. QB of Steelers out due to knee surgery As a series of unfortunate events plague the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team has again found themselves in a puddle. Just recently, the team’s QB Dennis Dixon was cut out of the lineup indefinitely as he tore a meniscus in his left knee. Because of this injury, Dixon will have to undergo surgery and be included in the team’s injury reserve. This incident definitely made Dixon no longer able to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the September 26 game. In a recent game, as Dixon scrambled for 21 yards in the later part of the 1st quarter, he injured himself as “he planted his leg on the ground and cut inside.” Dixon wasn’t able to feel that anything serious had happened due to adrenaline rush and everything else that was happening at the field, but when he was examined, they found out that Dixon’s injury was a serious case. Because the team was afraid to expose Dixon to more injury, he was limited to just a series of carries in a recent game against the Atlanta Falcons. According to Betus Sportsbook, the moneyline odds for the Steelers is -140. While intertops sportsbook says -135. Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking ready for the fight Based on the Buccaneers’ recent performance against the Carolina Panthers, the team definitely looked strong and more mature. This was in comparison to their performance last year, when they were recognized as a young and inexperienced NFL team. Nowadays, however, spectators and fans can definitely see that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have definitely improved their strategies and game plan. One proof of the team’s maturity is their 20-7 recent victory against the Carolina Panthers. However, despite the team’s recent improvements, they are aware that they have to get better if they want to go for the championship. The Bucs’ Josh Freeman definitely helped the team achieve a victory against the Panthers, as he was able to give out his best despite still recovering from an injured thumb. The moneyline odds for the Buccaneers according to Betus sportsbook is +120. Intertops sportsbook lines will give you the odds +115 for saturdays game. Pittburgh Steelers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers The underdog Buccaneers are definitely a young team when compared to the more experienced Pittsburgh Steelers. However, with the Steelers losing their QB to a knee injury, they better amp up their lineup and prepare for the September 26 game. As for the Buccaneers, they shouldn’t be too confident with their recent performance, as any serious incident such as an injury can become a major setback for the team.
