There hasn't been a lot to feel good for this Columbus team as they step out onto the road with their 5-16-3 road mark for the season. That looks like a long shot at best to grab a road win, but looking closer you find that this team started the season 0-8 on the road losing six of the eight by multiple goals. They have progressed to a not-so poor 5-8-3 in their last 16 on the road. Despite winning their last three games Tampa Bay is still a team below .500. This is also a team that has shown a great deal of complacency and vulnerability as a big favorite. They are 1-4 on the season as a favorite of -150 or higher. Play on Columbus.
