Bucs WR Antonio Bryant vs. Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha Bryant is the Bucs' best catcher but Asomugha might be the best young cornerback in the league. According to the Raiders, he has yet to give up a touchdown pass this year and has allowed opposing receivers to catch only eight balls for 133 yards. He has very good size but he might be hurting a bit after taking a hit to the neck last week. This matchup may be worth the price of admission, but the likelihood is the Bucs will have to find someone else to get the ball to if Asomugha is on Bryant all day. ...more

Bucs WR Antonio Bryant vs. Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie Bryant has become a real force in the Bucs' offense the past few weeks. He has clearly regained his comfort level with the league, and he is making plays all over the field. He is proving to be tough to slow down one-on-one, but he could have a hard time beating Cromartie. Cromartie has the size, speed and athleticism to match Bryant nearly stride-for-stride, and he is a big-time playmaker. The one thing Cromartie doesn't do well is tackle. If the Bucs can get the ball into Bryant's hands, he should win the battle for yards because he'll require more than Cromartie to bring him down. ...more

Saints WR Lance Moore vs. Bucs CB Ronde Barber Moore is having a great season, but scouts aren't all that impressed with his skill set. He is not real big or real fast, and he has a tendency to wait on the ball instead of going after it. He is just the kind of player that Barber can take advantage of and make a big play against, because Barber tends to wait for the right moment to jump a route. The Saints threw to Barber's side of the field a lot, and with some success, in the first meeting. They'll probably look to do the same again today. If they do that with Moore as the target, look for a big play from Barber. ...more
