Bucs rally to down Chiefs; Freeman hurts thumb

Football Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rudy Carpenter completed 8-of-11 passes for 79 yards and the game-winning touchdown to lead Tampa Bay to a 20-15 come-from- behind win over Kansas City at Raymond James Stadium.

Buccaneers starting quarterback Josh Freeman went 2-for-4 for 21 yards before leaving the game with a fracture on the tip of his right thumb after the team's first offensive series.

Josh Johnson took over and went 6-for-10 for 113 yards while Kareem Huggins carried eight times for 44 yards for the Bucs, who evened their preseason mark at 1-1.

Matt Cassel went 14-of-19 for 125 yards and a touchdown and Jackie Battle toted 11 times for 59 yards for the Chiefs, who fell to 0-2 in preseason play.

Connor Barth's second field goal of the night with 9:42 remaining in the game evened the score at 13.

The Bucs forced the Chiefs to punt and took over at midfield. Carpenter hit Arrelious Benn for 16 yards before two Carlos Brown runs for 29 yards moved the ball to the Chiefs five-yard line. Carpenter then hit Terrence Nunn for the go-ahead score with just over six minutes to play.

Barth's 31-yard field goal gave the Bucs a 3-0 lead before Cassel's six-yard scoring pass to Jeremy Horne put Kansas City ahead, 7-3.

The Bucs regained the lead on a 53-yard catch and run for a score by Michael Spurlock only to see the visitors tie the game in the final seconds of the first half on a 28-yard Ryan Succop field goal.

The Chiefs took their first lead late in the third quarter as Tyler Palko engineered a 12-play, 76-yard drive that finished with a 29-yard field goal by Succop.

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
