Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL Odds Week 9: Raymond James Stadium in the Bay Area will be the sight for this NFC matchup between the sports betting odds favorite (4-3) Green Bay Packers [-9½] taking ion the hosting underdog (0-7) Tampa Bay Buccaneers [+9½]. This NFL Odds Week 9 game has an opening kickoff scheduled for 1:05 PM ET (10 AM PT) and it’ll be broadcasted live on FOX.
Green Bay enters this NFL Odds Week 9 second in the NFC North behind Brett Favre and the rival (7-1) Minnesota Vikings by 2½ games. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay remains the only winless team in the league and things 
certainly don’t look promising for them to snap that this week.
For the visiting Packers, losing last week to the Vikings at Lambeau couldn’t have been easy to swallow. One of the constants this season has been the inability of the offensive line to protect Aaron Rodgers, who nursing some feet injuries, in the pocket. It’s gotten to the point that Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy is considering making some personnel changes.
But going up against a defense like the Bucs’ — PTS: 29.0 (30th), YDS: 376.4 (28th), PASS YDS: 214.0 (15th), RUSH YDS: 162.4 (30th) — I’m not so sure that any changes need to be made. "Our sack numbers are clearly out of balance," McCarthy said. "That's something we'll continue to work through." According to NFL Odds Week 9 experts at Sportsbook.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game has been set at a combined total of 43½ points scored.
For the Buccaneers, being the only team left with a goose egg on the win column has to be embarrassing. I mea, even the St. Louis Rams have won a game this season! Their hopes on offense rest on the rookie arm of quarterback Josh Freeman, who’ll be making his first career NFL start. The 17th overall pick in this year’s draft will try to inset some life into an offense that’s averaging less than 14 points per contest. After Byron Leftwich and Josh Johnson failed to steer the offensive troops, Tampa Bay is now counting on a kid to get them though.
"Obviously, it's something that's very exciting to me. It's something that I'm not taking lightly," Freeman said. "I come out with a different swagger, I guess, because I'm the guy who's taking the majority of the snaps, and I've got to go out and radiate that type of deal or that type of swagger, so my teammates can catch on to it."
