Good morning everybody. The simple handicap for Tuesday, October 24th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning. It is a massive full slate to get us rolling in week 8. So let's get to it and get your Tuesday started with the market rundown. Games kick off, Thursday night football, the Buccaneers on the road in Buffalo, taking on the Buffalo bills. A little bit of Buffalo money comes into the market

yesterday on the heels of Baker Mayfield being a non-participant in the estimated

Buccaneers practice with a knee issue. Ian Rappavort came out later yesterday afternoon and

said it was a non-issue and Baker Mayfield is expected to be out there

for the Buccaneers on Thursday night football. Nevertheless, the bills get bet up and the impactful

injury news to the bills as well as props all the way around is to Dawson Knox the

bill's number one tight end also very good in the run blocking game he has risk

surgery so he is going to be out this changes Ken Dorsey and his offense. We talked a lot in the

preseason about the 11.5 personnel that they wanted to use with multiple tight

ends on the field going away from the three wide receiver sets that they used at one of the league's highest

rates last year.

They will now be sort of forced to revert back to that, which means that we're probably

going to see the offense take on a bit of a different look, beginning with this game against the Tampa Bay

Buccaneers on Thursday. If you think about how you want to attack the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

it's certainly utilizing more spread sets and so this actually might be something that

boost the bill's offense a little bit within this matchup specifically.

Let's see if Dorsey is able to come up with something that gets the bill started a little bit quickly.

This is a team that has started off very slow in the last couple of weeks and finding a little bit of difficulty

to get their footing early.

That's going to be a huge emphasis for the bills to get it right on Thursday night football

and certainly have the opponent in the Buccaneers that can allow some bigger pass plays down

field within that secondary.
