@George,
I’m an unabashed Brady fan so I’m really looking forward to this matchup against Brees. Perhaps because it’s the golden-oldie-against-golden-oldie HoFamers matchup but I think it’s a bit more than that. And not just ‘cause I’d like to see a resurgence of NFL team in my part of FL either.
Game time is 4:25 pm ET from NO.
Oddsmaker have grown the spread to 3.5 pots with an offensive minded game predicted. (duuuh).
Though, I must say that if Brady-Gronk pairing fails, I think it bodes poorly for Tampa keeping its franchise there for very long. The stadium and the attendance (30th in NFL) therein had not been a rousing success and there’s been loud rumbling about relocation. FWIW, Owner Malcolm Glazer is worth $4.7 B and the franchise is worth about $2.3b. One thinks he could wait things out.
Local government won’t or can’t offer them enough tax-incentive sweetener to entice them to stay. Parking and neighborhood is not conducive to fans.
