win.

Running back Ronnie Brown averaged 4.4 yards per carry on 7 attempts and look good handling the ball for the Fins.

The Buccaneers are looking to Byron Leftwich to be the starting quarterback when the season starts, however he struggles against his former team completing only 6 of 12 passes for just 63 yards last week against the Jags. Back-up Luke McCown threw for two scores and was 6 of 9. However, whomever win the starting job for the Bucs appears to be just keep the seat warm for rookie Josh Freeman.

With this game being aired nationally on FOX, sports books expect to see a lot of action coming in. Both teams will be playing their starters for much of this one and the Dolphins offense matches up well against a Tampa defense that is trying to find an identity in third game without Monte Kiffin as the coordinator.

Take the Dolphins getting the points, they should win this one out-right.
