With the game still a few days again we await the official injury report. However, the key injury I am looking out for will be Marshon Lattimore for the Commanders who was a full participant in practice on Thursday. We know the history between Lattimore and Evans. Will Lattimore be able to slow down Evans? Additionally, Austin Ekeler makes his return for his Commanders team adding much-needed depth at the running back position.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers await the status of key players on both sides of the football. First, on offense, the Buccaneers look to get back tight end Cade Otton and wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Additionally, offensive tackle Triston Wrifs is dealing with a quad injury and has been a limited participant in practice for the Buccaneers.
Commanders at Buccaneers Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
As I mentioned above, these two teams met in Week 1 of the regular season where the Buccaneers won 37-20. A tough spot for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels making his first career start on the road. But now with plenty of games under his belt at the NFL level, can rookie quarterback Daniels be the second consecutive rookie quarterback to win a playoff game?
The Buccaneers needed to win out over the final few weeks to win the NFC South division. Let’s not forget the Buccaneers were in a similar situation last year where they beat the Eagles at home in the Wild Card round. What do I expect in this game is going to be points being put up by these offenses.
The Buccaneers were 6-3 to the Over in their home games this season and we saw 57 points scored in Week 1 between these two teams. Since the 2018 season, the Buccaneers have scored 27 or more points in four of the five home playoff games. I expect to see fireworks on Sunday Night between these two teams!
Best Bet: Commanders/Buccaneers Over 50.5
Player Prop Best Bet
Zach Ertz Over 38.5 Receiving Yards
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended the season allowing the second most receiving yards to the tight end position. Ertz ended the season on a high note in large part needing to fill up the stat sheet for his contract incentive bonuses. But nonetheless, Ertz brings playoff experience to this young Commanders team. I believe that Daniels will look for Ertz in those check downs and as a security blanket.
