Pick via FOX Sports' Cousin Sal

"Tampa Bay's got this one lined up. They won the last six at home, and in all of them, they scored 30 or more points. This is a revenge game for Brady, and also, he's gonna want to pad his stats because he's close to clinching the MVP award.

"Yes. Take the Tampa Bay Bucs to cover."
