The Washington Football Team and Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet in week 10 NFL action from FedEx Field on Sunday afternoon.

Tom Brady has thrown for 2,650 yards, 25 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 67.3% passing while Leonard Fournette leads the Bucs with 439 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns this season.Chris Godwin leads Tampa’s receiving group with 50 catches for 660 yards and 4 touchdowns and Mike Evans has 544 receiving yards and a team-high 5 TDs while Antonio Brown’s got 418 receiving yards and 4 scores of his own this season.

The Washington Football Team will try to bounce back from a 17-10 loss at the hands of the Denver Broncos in their last game following their bye week as well. Taylor Heinicke has thrown for 1,928 yards, 11 touchdowns and 9 interceptions on 63.9% passing while Antonio Gibson leads the Washington ground attack with 442 rushing yards and 3 TDs this season. Terry McLaurin leads Washington’s receivers with 43 grabs for 573 yards and 4 scores while J.D. McKissic has 332 receiving yards.

Tampa Bay is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss while the over is 23-8 in their last 31 games against the NFC. Washington is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games while the under is 10-2 in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record.

The Washington Football Team just can’t seem to get their footing and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s the perils of having Taylor Heinicke as your starting QB. Even if and when Ryan Fitzpatrick comes back, I’m not sure he’s the answer as the defense for Washington hasn’t been what it was last season. Tampa Bay has had their ups and downs lately, but they’ve still got a rock solid defense and a really good offense that can take advantage of the WFT and their inept defense this season. Give me Tampa Bay and lay the points here.
