The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will return to action after a week's break as they travel to the nation's capital to take on the Washington Football Team on Sunday.
The Buccaneers lost their last game in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. They had a chance to hit the drawing board, rest and get ready for the rest of the season during their bye in Week 9. Tom Brady has led the Buccaneers to a 6-2 record but said during the week that the reigning Super Bowl champions will improve even more; a scary proposition for the rest of the league.
Washington was expected to be a force in the NFC East this season, but instead, they sit at the bottom of the division standings with an abysmal 2-6 record. Their playoff hopes are long gone, but they will want to finish the season with a winning record.

Brady has had a sensational year and is the current leader in passing yards per game with a shade over 331. Expect the veteran quarterback to torch the Washington secondary all day long. With Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski out, Brady will look towards Mike Evans, who will undoubtedly have a big day himself. Brady 300+ passing yards along with Mike Evans 100+ receiving yards is a pick as safe as they come.
