Our staff provides their predictions and analysis for Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ripped off three straight wins following their bye week, and with the Atlanta Falcons losing four straight, the Bucs now are atop the NFC South standings with just four weeks left in the regular season. While the two duke it out for the one team out of the division to likely make the playoffs, the Buccaneers will head West to face off against the AFC's Los Angeles Chargers looking to maintain their one-game lead.
Here is how our staff here at BucsGameday sees this one playing out between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Chargers. LA's offense doesn't do anything special but they run a clean game. The Bucs' defense has struggled but they will have an opportunity to get in the backfield in this one as the Chargers' offensive line hasn't lived up to the expectations placed upon them.
Unfortunately, the injury bug continues to strike this Bucs team and particularly the defense with All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield the latest casualty. The team will also be without top backup Mike Edwards and possibly Christian Izien as well, and they are already without Jordan Whitehead. Linebacker K.J. Britt will also miss his second straight game and his backup J.J. Russell is also questionable.
The Bucs are facing the best team they’ll play the rest of the year. Unfortunately, their depleted secondary took a huge hit when Antoine Winfield Jr. went down with an injury last week vs. the Raiders. To say this version of Todd Bowles’ defense will ‘have their hands full’ playing against an All-Pro caliber quarterback like Justin Herbert would be putting it too lightly.If the best version of Baker Mayfield shows up in this game, the offense can absolutely carry the Bucs to a victory.
