| The Bucs rushing defense was run over by the Panthers and they will have their hands full again this week with Michael Turner and backup Jerious Norwood. The ATL duo are averaging nearly 5 ypc and Turner has a 47 percent chance of rushing for at least 75 yards and 1 TD. If he does this the Falcons have a 79 percent chance of winning by an average of 9 points. If the Bucs defense holds Turner under 75 rushing yards they have a 58 percent chance of winning. The Bucs are surprisingly effective passing the ball. Jeff Garcia is averaging over 250 passing yards per sim with the emerging Antonio Bryant averaging 5 catches and 70 yards. | ||||||||||||||||||||
