NFL Picks Analysis: Tampa Bay's strengths play into Cleveland's weaknesses. Tampa Bay should be an improved team this season in head coach Raheem Morris's second year with the team. Cleveland has a whole new coaching staff and a team that was already limited will have an adjustment period. The Browns will try to play smash-mouth football under new head coach Eric Mangini and they are ill-equipped to come from behind throwing the ball. The Cleveland Browns vs. new Tampa Bay Buccaneers jerseys NFL Betting Odds Total is at 36.0 points.

The Browns modest running attack will have a difficult time rushing the ball against a Tampa Bay team that added some serious beef in the middle this off-season. The Bucs however should have no problem running the ball against a Browns run defense that has a big donut hole in the middle with the likely suspension of their best defensive player DT Shaun Rodgers.

Cleveland does a good job of getting after the QB but Buccaneers football jerseys QB Josh Freeman is a mobile player that can avoid the rush. The Browns have interception machine Jake Delhomme as their QB and the strength of the Bucs defense is a playmaking secondary that should grab some picks. The Cleveland snowbirds could also feel the effects of the Florida heat late in this game. Play the Bucs to cover the short NFL point spread at home.

Bucs rookie defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, who was a college teammate of Bradford's at Oklahoma, told the Oklahoman that he is going to wait to put pen-to-paper with the Bucs until his former quarterback inks his deal with the St. Louis Rams.

...If Bradford receives the record-breaking rookie contract from the Rams that everyone expects, McCoy thinks that can only give him more leverage in his own negotiations with the Bucs.

"It's kind of one of those deals where you would rather let the first pick sign first," McCoy said. "You don't want to do your deal first and his contract is way higher than yours. But if you waited yours would have been higher."
