Someday Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is going to return to the home of the New England Patriots and the franchise he led for 20 years is going to roll out the red carpet for him.
That day won’t be this Sunday. Instead, the Patriots are looking to upset Brady and his Bucs, and send them home with their second-straight road loss in 2021.
It’s a tall task. BetOnline.ag has Tampa Bay as seven-point favorites for this much anticipated Sunday Night Football match-up. Even with news Friday the Bucs will be without running back Giovanni Bernard, cornerback Jamel Dean, and with tight end Rob Gronkowski - another Foxboro legend - doubtful with a rib injury.
