Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Bold Predictions
Raiders lose a close game
Not unlike the game against the Chiefs, everybody is counting the Raiders out of this game and think the result will be a blowout. Not me, as I think this team has enough fight and talent on the offense to keep this game close.
Unfortunately, I do think this week the loss of practice time for the offensive line, Abram and the loss of Trent Brown will end up hurting the Raiders in this game. Brown was so good in his first game back, but almost cost everybody with his, and the other offensive lineman’s blatant disregard for the league’s rules.
Tampa Bay’s defense is coming in confident off that dominant performance against the Packers last week, and I believe all this drama will be just a little too much to overcome. Before all the COVID 19 stuff happened, I had the Raiders winning against the Buccaneers, but Tom Brady and that Todd Bowles defense is simply too good to go into this game with everything that has been going on and pull out a win.
