The Washington Redskins are taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road in a critical Week 10 battle. Here are our bold predictions for the contest.

The 10th week of the 2018 NFL season might be the most important one to date for the Redskins. So far this season, they have mostly done well to face challenges this year, and have knocked off tough opponents like the Packers, Panthers, and Cowboys in key games. That has gotten them to the 5-3 record they currently sit at.

Of course, the team has had their share of let downs and they have won ugly in a few of their bigger wins. At the end of the day, the scoreboard is all that matters, but savvy fans know that the team has been sloppy at times, and their loss to Atlanta last week was an example of that.

In Week 10, the Redskins are traveling to Tampa Bay to take on the Bucs. The Bucs (3-5) have turmoil at QB and one of the weakest defenses in the league. They’re not necessarily an easy opponent, because of the weapons they have on offense, but they are one of the weaker squads remaining on the ‘Skins schedule. And for that reason, it will be key for the Redskins to do everything they can to win.

In order to win, Washington may have to engage in a shootout, so there could be some lopsided stat-lines in this contest. Without further ado, here’s a look at our five bold predictions for this Sunday’s Redskins vs. Bucs affair.
