The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Football Team both entered their matching Week 9 bye weeks with a loss.

While the Bucs fell to the New Orleans Saints, the WFT fell to the Denver Broncos. But that's about where the similarities end for these two teams in a rematch from last year's NFC Wild Card Round of the playoffs.

With the Buccaneers at 6-2 and Washington at 2-6, one team has continued on the path towards postseason relevance while the other has failed to show even a glimpse of the preseason hype surrounding the team.

Quarterback Taylor Heinicke was a fan favorite after nearly orchestrating an upset win in January of 2021, and now has many wondering what the future holds for the WFT's most important position on the field.

All of this makes it less likely Washington will get their revenge, but injuries to Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski, and Chris Godwin threaten to leave Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady without his full arsenal of weapons.

This could be just the opportunity wide receiver Tyler Johnson needs to make his mark on a game this season, and a big showing from him would help the Buccaneers get back in the win column after digesting their loss in Week 8, for two weeks now.

In that loss, linebacker Devin White had a particularly rough outing while letting his emotions get the better of him, leading to multiple penalties. Veteran teammate Lavonte David mentored the young linebacker this week, and we expect a much cleaner, and impactful game from the third-year NFL player.

All of this leads to our final game predictions, bold predictions, and keys to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers victory over the Washington Football Team in Week 10 of the 2021 NFL Season!
