Is There Any Hope for the Bucs?
The one good thing for football betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is that even if this struggling team only wins one game all year, it still won’t be the worst season in the team’s history. Everyone knows that the Bucs have the dubious distinction of a winless season, but the way things are going it might have two of them under its belt when the dust finally settles on the 2009 season.
The Bucs have been awful in the football betting this year and awful on the field. The team has limited talent on both sides of the ball and the rookie head coach Raheem Morris has shown very little promise at the position. The play calling has been terrible on offense and his decision to bench Byron Leftwich in favor of rookie Josh Johnson was more or less an act of throwing in the sports betting towel.
Johnson is an athletic but green rookie who most likely does not have the skill set to be an NFL starter. Nonetheless the team’s hopes rest on the rookie when the team has a successful veteran QB on the bench. Leftwich is no John Elway but he’s won plenty of NFL sports betting match ups and at least gives the team a chance. Johnson provides no such hope.
An 0-5 start is not what the Bucs had in mind when they begin the season and the bad news is that things will likely get worse. With each loss the team suffers the energy around the team gets even more negative and it becomes a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
Morris is going to have a very steep learning curve this year and if he can escape the season with even a single football sports betting win it will be a positive development.
