With Vita Vea and Devin White back at practice on Thursday it would appear the Buccaneers are ready to go on the defensive side of the ball in the quest to shut down the NFL's top rushing threat = Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts. The Bucs have some other good news/bad news situations on the injury front but then again so doe Indianapolis. The Colts appear to be in danger of missing their best offensive lineman - guard Quinten Nelson - and their best defensive player Darius Leonard has been limited thus far. Something to keep an eye on moving into the weekend.

The semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame were announced this week and Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Ronde Barber made the cut yet again. Is this the year Barber gets his gold jacket? Or will he get a gold jacket at all? James and David discuss that as well as looking at the resume of pass rusher Simeon Rice. Rice has had a groundswell of support to get into the Hall but does he have the numbers to do so? And if he's Pro Football Hall of Fame worthy, why isn't he in the Bucs' Ring of Honor?

Finally, we take a look at the keys to the game, give our bold predictions, player of the game predictions, and score predictions as the Buccaneers look to move to 8-3 while the Colts strive to stay in the hunt for the AFC South title.
