Week 10 – Redskins at Buccaneers

For a while there, it looked as if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would ride the wave of Fitzmagic all the way to the postseason. Then reality struck.

Ryan Fitzpatrick started strong for Todd Monken and the Buccaneers, but last week, against the Chicago Bears, he was benched for Jameis Winston, who promptly earned the starting job for the foreseeable future.

After starting 2-0, with a seemingly unstoppable offense, the Buccaneers are sitting at .500, and they look vulnerable all over again. The defense is full of holes, and the offense is far from reliable with either Winston or Fitzpatrick in. Washington should be able to stick to their philosophy in this one, and with a couple chunk plays from Alex Smith, the Redskins will win by two possessions.

Final Score: WAS 30, TB 17

Record: 6-3
