Each team has been trading wins and losses every week of the 2017 season. That seesaw trend will come to an end for one of them, as they meet here in Week 6 (both are coming off a loss). The Buccaneers lost to the Patriots in a tight 19-14 game in Week 5 and now they find themselves on the road in Arizona territory, where not only will the Cardinals enjoy home advantage, they have added running back Adrian Peterson to the roster.

Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed a huge opportunity to have a statement win against the defending Super Bowl Champions, as three missed field goals changed the final score. Even though the Bucs were unable to beat the Patriots last week, quarterback Jameis Winston has improved and is looking like a franchise QB.
In that loss, Winston threw for 334 passing yards, one touchdown and had one last throw to try and win it for the Bucs but the pass was well off the mark for TE O.J. Howard. The Kicking woes of Nick Folk was the highlight of the game as he would soon pack his bags as Tampa Bay will be finding a new kicker.
With an accurate kicking game, Tampa Bay has the potential to knock off anyone especially when quarterback Winston is dropping dimes all game. The first round draft choice has topped 300 yards in the last three games and has thrown for seven touchdowns.
Betting on the Arizona Cardinals (2-3)
With the loss of running back star David Johnson, the Arizona Cardinals offense was lost and had no more strength against any defense. However the franchise made a huge move and acquired running back Adrian Peterson to come save the day. Arizona will finally have a running game which will help veteran quarterback Carson Palmer open up the passing game.
Last week, the lack of a running game showed as the Arizona offense was unable to move the ball the whole game against the first place Eagles. With losing 34-7, it was time to make a change for this organization and Peterson was the right choice. He is going to add a new spark to this offense.
Arizona has alternated losses and wins in its first five games, hence they should be able to win this game right? Peterson will be able to help their odds of winning as Arizona is averaging 52 rushing yards per game.
Writer’s Prediction:
Arizona has a brand new running game, but remember the Cardinals have one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Tampa Bay runs all over Arizona Pick: Bucs(-2)
