Commanders vs Buccaneers predictions, picks, odds

Lorenzo Reyes, USA TODAY: Commanders 26, Buccaneers 17

I think the wrong team is favored here. The Tampa defense often stacks the box to try to stop the run, and, if it does that, I could see Jayden Daniels having a big day. Yet, because he’s mobile and an elite dual threat option, if the Bucs drop players in coverage, Daniels can gain big chunks on the ground.

Can rookie Jayden Daniels help the Commanders get their first playoff win since the 2005 season? Daniels has proved doubters wrong all season. His dual-threat ability will cause problems for Tampa Bay’s defense. The Bucs beat the Commanders in Week 1, but Washington is a much different team now.

Jayden Daniels has grown so much since his first game, and he should have a much easier time cracking through the Buccaneers defense. Tampa Bay’s offense starts off slow and is unable to recover and the Commanders get the last laugh over the Buccaneers.
