Washington Commanders vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Start time, prediction and how to watch the NFL game
In Week 1 of the season, the Bucs defeated the Commanders 37–20.
The Washington Commanders overcame their terrible seasons in 2024 under Dan Quinn’s leadership and with the addition of sensational rookie Jayden Daniels. They finished with an outstanding 12-5 record, which was enough to get them back into the playoffs for the first time since 2021 even though it wasn’t enough to win their division against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite having a better record, they now travel to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFC South champs.
In his first season in the NFL, Daniels recorded 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, nine interceptions, and six more rushing touchdowns. He is a candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year and exceeded the preseason total of wins that had been projected for the team by 6.5. Daniels is the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner.
Although they will have the home advantage at Raymond James Stadium, where they previously met in Week 1 with a 37–20 home team victory, their opponent is a squad that has played inconsistently.
The Bucs enter this phase with a positive boost after winning the divisional title by rallying from a 19-27 deficit against the already-deadened Saints, scoring 14 points in the final quarter to turn the tide of the game and capitalize on the Falcons’ home loss to the Panthers, which was also unexpected.
The Bucs, who have failed to advance past the divisional stage since Tom Brady’s departure, won this divisional crown for the fourth time in a row. The good news is that Baker Mayfield, who took over as quarterback, had an excellent season, setting career highs of 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdown passes. Furthermore, his overall yardage ranked third in
Furthermore, Mike Evans, a veteran wide receiver, earned a $3 million incentive for his nine receptions and 89 yards, tying Jerry Rice’s record of 11 straight seasons with at least 1,000 yards.
The Bucs are the three-point favorites, which is the only margin of victory that home teams have, because the game appears to be quite close.
