If you’re gambling hurry up and bet Godwin OVER 63.5 yards. https://t.co/VztX2E3SkM

Chris Godwin receiving yards prop at 63.5 still a tremendous value. Suspect Alexander will be draped all over Evans. Maybe Gronk sees more action in the pass game?

Oh, and RELEASE THE KRAKEN — Tyler Johnson. https://t.co/JBffHPujCt

I'm very nervous for Sunday. But this helps a little. No offense to AB. https://t.co/Cn9fDCWX5I

Antonio Brown didn't make one single meaningful contribution to the Bucs making it to the NFC Championship Game/maybe the Super Bowl. A colossal and deserved failure by those who thought bringing in an abuser b/c he was gₒₒd ₐₜ fₒₒₜbₐₗₗ was 'the missing piece'. https://t.co/jFpdD5XXxi

AB definitely isn’t the impact player he was on the Steelers anymore. That being said, having him as an option makes things a little easier for Tom.

No need to fret, Brady still has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Scott Miller and Tyler Johnson.

And two solid running backs, Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones, and let’s not forget about tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate.
