James is back! After a few days off, James has returned and is joined by 10 Tampa Bay's Evan Closky to discuss the Buccaneers and Rams Divisional Round matchup this Sunday. The Bucs suffered a loss to Los Angeles in week three but will it be different this time around? James believes so - and a big part of that is Matthew Stafford's struggles down the stretch in the final month of the season. Will that Stafford show up on Sunday? Or will it be the one that played against the Cardinals in the Wild Card round? Evan Closky gives his thoughts on why the Bucs are going to struggle putting up points against this Rams defense.

Leonard Fournette posted on Twitter that we will see him on Sunday, causing many to believe that he's ready to return and help this team move on to the NFC Championship - but just how much will Playoff Lenny be able to do against Los Angeles?

Manny calls in to talk about the defense, so James throws out some numbers for the Grave Diggers that we've seen in the Bruce Arians/Tom Brady/Todd Bowles era of playoff games for the Buccaneers and he speculates that with Jason Pierre-Paul, Jamel Dean, and Sean Murphy-Bunting getting a crack at this Rams offense this time around, the results may be a little different.

Finally, as he always does, Evan gives his bold, score, and player predictions for this weekend's Divisional Round. He picked the Rams the first time around - but is he a believer in the Bucs' ability to win this time?
