Weather: Mostly gloomy day in Jacksonville today. Rain and thunderstorms are expected this morning and in the late afternoon (welcome to Florida in August). In fact, thunderstorms are expected in the first half tonight, per AccuWeather.com. Temperature at kickoff should be in the low 80s. Once the game is over with, it should be a very pleasant 76 and by that time the rains should have dissipated. .
Odds: Per Hard Rock Bet, as of midnight, Bucs -2.5 (-115); 34.5 over/under.
Outlook: It will be the Tampa Bay short-order cooks and high school history teachers vs. the Amazon truck drivers and physical therapists tonight. KitKat-eating Bucs coach Todd Bowles said the starters won’t play. So, Joe is guessing tonight will be Chris Braswell’s last stand as a Bucs player, if he’s healthy. Will the former second-round pick do anything tonigh or is the dye cast? Joe would like to see quarterback Jalon Daniels progress. Don’t think the Bucs want Jake Browning maimed playing behind five turnstiles tonight. The way Joe looks at it, the guys who the Bucs think still have a prayer should get to play the whole game. Joe doesn’t want to see one player who the Bucs think may start be out there on a rainy field. It’s time to start worrying about real games.
