Weather: The game will be held in swanky, fanless Allegiant Stadium dome otherwise known as The Roomba. (Tell Joe the Al Davis Flame there doesn’t look like the logo for Al Jazeera?)

Odds: Per BetMGM, as of noon Saturday, Bucs -4.5; 52-under.

Outlook: Which will impact Chucky more? That all his starting offensive line missed a full week of practice because of The Sickness scare, or that four of those five have been activated Saturday to play today, or that Chucky and the Raiders had a bye week last week? You know Chucky has been building up this game with his team like they are fighting for their lives. Not only does Chucky hold a massive, bitter grudge against Team Glazer for firing him in January 2009 — the Bucs are finally starting to recover from that move. But No. 2 (No. 1?) on Chucky’s list of grudges is the Tuck Rule Game, where Tom Brady took advantage of a garbage rule that has since been outlawed and led a comeback to beat Chucky and the Raiders in the playoffs. It turned out to be Chucky’s last game as a Raiders coach for Al Davis. If Chucky could lose the rest of his games this year but his last win would be against Brady and the Bucs, he would be a very happy man. So Joe absolutely believes this game may be the toughest game of the season. Joe suspects it is going to be a physical, punishing game, much like what the Bears gave the Bucs over two weeks ago. If the Bucs play up to their talent they should win. Good thing the players are locked into the team hotels this year on road trips. The Bucs won’t have to fight through the phenomenon of what is known as the Vegas Flu.
