Buccaneers (2-4) at Vikings (5-2)
The Buccos are one of the leagues best defenses agains the rush, especially when it comes to up the gut rush stopping. Adrian Peterson is one of the leagues best running threats, especially when it comes to up the gut rushing attempts. This could be a major battle between two of the leagues best threats. Tampa Bays pass defense is pretty abyssmal though. They are second to last in yards against for receivers meaning Percy Harvin and Jerome Simpson could have big days for the Vikings if Ponder can get them the ball safely. Freeman, Doug Martin, and Vincent Jackson all looked great last week, but let's not forget they were playing against a Saints team that is yet to do anything defensively this year. I think Peterson, despite coming off of three days rest, continues to remind us why he is such a dangerous game changer play after play tonight. Tampa is going to have a game plan revolving around him and even if he doesn't touch the ball on every play he is going to be a major distraction.
