Both clubs, however, will go into battle on Sunday missing very key offensive components. The OVER/UNDER for this Sunday Night Football: Seattle Seahawks vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Odds is set at 38 points. The quarterback situation in Tampa Bay has been a bit uncertain. After putting up Pro Bowl numbers last season, Jeff Garcia began the ‘08 campaign as the #1 guy. After a 24-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, head coach Jon Gruden turned things over to 2nd string veteran, QB Brian Griese. Griese’s play has been improving from week to week, winning his first 3 starts. However, an injury during a 13-16 loss at Denver has sidelined the well-traveled QB, and thus, Garcia is back behind center. Last week, Garcia stepped up his game, leading Tampa Bay to a 27-3 victory over the (4-2) Carolina Panthers. In that game, Garcia went 15-of-20 for 173 yards and 1 touchdown. Garcia ran the offense well by spreading out the field, completing passes to eight different receivers, and avoiding any turnovers or sacks. Garcia is expected to start Sunday night. "This is just one game and we don't know what's going to happen next," Garcia said Sunday. "But it felt great to be playing again. If we can just build on these things, we have a lot of good things to look forward to."
