Welcome to a weekly feature on JoeBucsFan.com. Joe has challenged Ira Kaufman, Tampa Bay’s only Hall of Fame voter, to pick against the spread this season for a $500 prize. Every Friday, Ira types out his picks for each Friday-through-Monday game. If he hits at 53 percent or better for the regular season, then Ira gets $500 in gift cards to Abe’s Place in Clearwater, home of historically amazing food and 44 craft beers on tap. Feel free to send Ira your stone cold locks on Twitter, @ikaufman76. The sage of Tampa Bay sports always appreciates a tip.
BY IRA KAUFMAN
The common definition of stupidity is doing the same thing time aftertime and expecting a different result.
Because my picks against the spread have been stupid, I’m changing my routine. I’m sitting in a different room, in a different chair, sipping a different drink.
If that doesn’t work, I’m hitting up Madame Natalie next week for a psychic reading. [read more]
Performance discussed
Is Doug Martin running the way the Buccaneers want him to?
Formerly winning head coach Dirk Koetter addressed that last night. [read more]
Joe would love to see media news conferences with Dirk Koetter at One Buc Palace abolished in favor of lining up 10 hardcore fans to ask one question each every week. [read more]

Todd apologizes for waiting a day to give you the usual Friday podcast, but he wanted to make sure he had ALL the analysis you needed that covered everything in a wild week. This includes the latest off-the-field victory in court for Ezekiel Elliott, which obviously came down Friday to make him eligible to play again Sunday. Todd has thoughts on Elliott’s status and the plan now for Elliott owners, the value of those affected by trade deadline deals and the expectations for big-scoring Texans with the unfortunate injury to Deshaun Watson.
It is obviously another big bye week, so you may be struggling to pick a streamer for your lineup or just finding room on your roster for them at the expense of cutting a player you don’t want to release. Again, Todd’s got plenty for you in this podcast and you can email him directly at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com with any personal questions for your season-long or DFS teams.

Just email a 90-second-or-less audio blast to BucsUncensored@gmail.com. Listen above or subscribe on iTunes right here, or at Podbean.com. Justin’s work is not influenced by JoeBucsFan.com. Joe just thinks it’s very, very, very special. **CAUTION: some R-RATED language!*

“Now Jameis, I know you and DeSean cannot connect on bombs. But, what the hell? What do we have to lose?”
When Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht signed free agent DeSean Jackson, Bucs fans from China to the former Soviet Union (yes, Joe has received missives from fans in Russia) and all points in between had visions of Jackson hauling in 40-yard bombs from America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, two or three times a game.
