The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will open the season with a matchup against the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The Bucs finished the preseason 1-3 after closing it out with back-to-back home losses to Cleveland and Washington, but I think they'll come out strong here.

QB Jameis Winston is coming off a solid season with 4,090 passing yards, 28 touchdowns against 18 INTs. He should be able to cut down on the picks here in his third season in the NFL and he has an several excellent targets to aim for, one of them Mike Evans who ranked fourth in the entire NFL with 1,321 receiving yards last season.

The Bucs will be without suspended RB Doug Martin, but Jacquizz Rodgers is a solid backup and we can note that Miami gave up 140 rushing yards per game last year, the third worst mark in the league.

The Dolphins meanwhile will have to go with recently signed Jay Cutler under center after losing injured Ryan Tannehill for the season. Cutler recorded just 1,059 passing yards with four TDs and five picks in five games with the Bears last season, and I doubt he'll do enough to lead the Dolphins to a win here.

My NFL Game of the Week is a 10* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
