The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had more bumps in the road this season than many had expected. They enter Week 12 at 7-3 after surprising losses to the Saints and Washington Football Team in back-to-back weeks but got back on track in Week 12 by crushing the New York Giants 30-10. Tom Brady had a great bounce-back game against his former rivals and finished the day 30-for-46 with 307 yards and two touchdowns. 

The Indianapolis Colts, meanwhile, have been one of the most impressive teams over the last month. They are on a three-game winning streak and have won five of their last six games; with the only loss during that stretch to the Titans. Indy proved to me that they are for real by going into Buffalo and crushing the struggling Bills 41-15. It appears the Bills are not the team many of us thought, but they aren’t "getting blown out by the Colts bad." This was a testament to how far this offense has come with Carson Wentz under center.

Buccaneers vs. Colts Prediction and Pick

The Colts have been one of the most impressive teams to me over the last month. I didn’t have much faith in this team heading into the season and even less once it started. However, they have rallied after a slow start and Carson Wentz has looked more and more like the right guy in Indy; so long as he isn’t asked to shoulder too much of the work. Luckily for the Colts, they have the best running back in the NFL right now in Jonathan Taylor. 

This will be one of the more exciting games this weekend and I think it's a lot closer than many expect. I do think the Bucs are a better overall team but I am not going to assume they will just march into Indy and cover this game with ease. Brady gets the Bucs over the hump, but just barely. 

Pick: Indianapolis Colts +2.5 (-110)
