Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Bold Predictions
Nelson Agholor catches another long touchdown.
This has been a weekly occurrence this year. Last season, everybody was memeing Nelson Agholor because they said he couldn’t hold on to the ball, and now he is Derek Carr’s number two option and probably the person he trusts with the ball the most other than Darren Waller. Yes, I know Tampa Bay’s defense shut down Aaron Rodgers last week, and according to some fans, that means the Raiders officially lost this game as well, but not so fast.
In three of the five games, Las Vegas has put up at least 30 points, and the highest scoring output was against the best defense they have faced up to this point. In other words, the offense is on fire, and the only thing that can stop them are mental mistakes, and being without Brown at right tackle.
Derek Carr is taking more shots downfield, and he will have to in order to win this game. The Bucs have a tremendous run defense, holding teams below 60 yards per game, so expect Agholor and Ruggs to get their chances deep, leading to another long touchdown.
