The start of the NFL regular season is just around the corner, but before that, teams still have to face their final preseason games. Week 3 of the 2022 NFL Preseason is almost around the corner, and although some teams have already given hints of how they will fare during the season, others have yet to hit their peak performance and are still looking for the magic formula.
Indianapolis Colts vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be a duel between two teams that have yet to win, and for that reason they are expected to give their best here, as the team who wins will arrive to the regular season with an extra boost.

The Indianapolis Colts haven’t found the winning formula in this preseason and will try to maximize their efforts in this game to try to close out in decent fashion before the regular season begins. They were defeated 27-24 by the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 of the preseason, and something similar happened last weekend against the Detroit Lions.
The scoring gap in both games was minimal, leading us to assume that there are concentration issues that must be addressed. This is the last opportunity for the Indianapolis franchise to improve.
Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Record: 0-2
- Spread: +5.5
- Moneyline: +200
- Over/Under: 41
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have yet to taste victory after two preseason games. They lost in their opener 24-26 to the Miami Dolphins, and lost again to the Tennessee Titans 13-3 last Saturday.
The good news heading into this final warm-up game is that quarterback Tom Brady will be back at practice after missing the first two games due to family issues. In addition to the fact that the 45-year-old veteran can bring his quality and experience to the offensive, knowing that he will be present improves the rest of the team’s morale. However, we’ll have to wait and see if the head coach will use the player in this game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Colts have been close to victory in their games, and are likely to build on this home performance to win their opener.
Victory for the Indianapolis Colts.
