Is today the day the Bucs return a kickoff for a touchdown?
14-1 Sucker bet alert. The odds are 14-1 that the Bucs will return one for a touchdown today (again, you cannot bet they will not). Remember, the Bucs are zero-for-history as far as returning kickoffs for touchdowns. Fourteen to one? Hah. It ought to be 14-million to 1. There are better odds that a meteor falls on Raymond James Stadium and that Michael Pittman fair catches it. Today’s over-under: 331/2. It’s a ridiculously low number. I say bet the over. All it takes is 12 field goals by Matt Bryant, and you’re there. Will the Bucs finish with the No. 1 draft pick? According to the oddsmakers, they’ll finish third, behind Arizona and Oakland, ahead of Tennessee and Detroit. Who will the Bucs select first? Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame, +235; Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin, +265; Alan Branch, DT, Michigan, +325; Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson, +350; Leon Hall, CB, Michigan +375. If the Bucs pick someone else, the money is returned. Odds that Gruden brings in an offensive coordinator in the off-seaso
