WEATHER UPDATE - TAMPA BAY

[spuddy999]

Looks like just clouds & lots of wind at kickoff:

1PM- 8% chance of rain & 26 mph wind
2PM- 14% & 25 mph
3PM- 22% & 23 mph
4PM- Strong Storms/Wind 70% chance & 22 mph

25 mph wind should affect the passing & kicking game.

If anything, I think that would hurt NO more than the Bucs. Im already leaning Tampas way so this helps a bit.

This will really hurt the Saints, their ground game is nothing without Reggie.

I think Bush is playing today, but he isnt really a threat running the ball IMO. He is great catching the ball out of the backfield though.

Yeah, the Saints vaunted (love that word) passing game is in deep shit in 25 mph wind...
