Weather: Typical Tampa weather today and tonight. Per AccuWeather.com, this afternoon it is supposed to be cloudy. Look for the weather to be in the mid-80s with late-afternoon thunderstorms for the tailgaters — good beer-drinking weather if you have cover. By kickoff it should be 81 under cloudy skies with a 49 percent chance of rain. The temperature will gradually decrease to the upper-70s by game’s end with a 20 percent chance of rain.

Odds: Per Hard Rock Bet, as of midnight, Bucs +3.5 (-115); over/under 32.5.

Outlook: This will be the first time fans who haven’t been lucky enough to attend training camp will get to see young Bucs in person. The possible hiccup is, will Emeka Egbuka and Jacob Parrish be on the field tonight? Bucs coach Todd Bowles said this week that the starters (likely) won’t play. Joe expects both Egbuka and Parrish, both rookies, to start the regular season. So will Bowles give all the rookies some snaps or keep Egbuka and Parrish in street clothes? Jalen McMillan is technically a starter (in a three-receiver set) but Joe doesn’t know if Bowles feels that way. For Joe, the key here is Kyle Trask, the Bucs’ current No. 2 quarterback. Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht said that “for now” Trask is Baker Mayfield’s immediate backup in the wake of the Bucs signing Teddy Bridgewater. Will “for now” run out by midnight tonight? Another thing for Joe to watch is the second-team offensive line. It has been awful in training camp. Will Bowles decide that Charlie Heck, who is expected to start at left tackle until Tristan Wirfs returns, needs snaps in a worthless preseason game? There is some motivation here. If the Bucs’ second-team offensive line stinks, Joe is pretty sure Licht will go shopping. Or he better go shopping at the bargain bin at the end of the month when rosters need to be whittled to 53. There will be a glut of decent backups hitting the market in three weeks. Yes, Joe also wants to see Chris Braswell light things up so Joe can sleep better and night.
