NFL Week 5 Picks on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Cincinnati Bengals Odds: The Bengals woke up on offense last week but they were unable to get a win, now they need to maintain that offensive rhythm when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday at 1 PM ET, if they way to fight for a wild card spot in the future. The Buccaneers vs. Bengals NFL Point Spread have the Bengals -6.5 at BETUS.com
The problem for the Bengals is that their running is not as effective as last season because Cedric Benson is averaging almost a yard per carry less than on 2009. That has affected the outcome of the passing game thru the season despite Carson Palmer exploded last week with 371 yards and two touchdowns in the loss 20-23 against the Browns. Palmer found Terrell Owens for 222 yards and one score and both are about to face a defense that allowed 38 points from the Steelers two weeks ago.
"We have to do what it takes to win the game," Lewis said. "I don't care if a guy throws for seven zillion yards. If we don't win the game, it doesn't count for anything. That's the important part. We want to win football games. That's our goal. It doesn't matter about yardage."
Tampa will have to fight not only with the issues of stopping an offense that seemed to have found their rhythm but also need to start putting points on the board because they average a unimpressive 16.7 points per game, which ranks 25th in the NFL.
"You go out there and he tells you to calm down and bring your route and he has you," rookie WR Mike Williams said of Freeman before the Pittsburgh game. "You here that from a quarterback and you're like, 'Dang, all I have to do is just catch the ball.'"
Cincinnati is 0-6 ATS as home favorite, take the Bengals to covert.
