5 bold predictions for Redskins vs. Bucs in NFL Week 10
1. Redskins intercept Ryan Fitzpatrick 4 times…allow 4 TDs
The Buccaneers have enough weapons to beat the Redskins defense. Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, Chris Godwin, Adam Humphries, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate can all do damage in the right situations, and the ‘Skins are going to have a massively difficult time taking care of all of them.
That said, the team is also going up against Ryan Fitzpatrick. While Fitzpatrick has shown some “FitzMagic” this season, he has also been turnover-prone at times. He takes chances, and that will certainly give the Redskins a chance to make plays against him.
With Peyton Barber and the Bucs’ run game not doing much, Fitzpatrick may be forced to air the ball out a lot in what could turn into a shootout. It wouldn’t surprise many if he threw for four scores, and it would surprise even fewer to see him turn the ball over a lot. But doing both? That would be one of the most Fitzpatrick-esque games ever.
The Redskins are going to break at some point in this game, but they will have their chance to make plays. At the end of the day, expecting four picks and four TDs from Fitzpatrick seems ludicrous, but it’s something that well could happen in this game. It may not be likely, but if we’re getting bold, we’ll expect to see some sort of crazy line from the Bucs QB. So, it’s within the realm of possibility.

It’s hard to say that the Redskins would be happy with this outcome but if they did this in a win, it would be worth it. We’ll have to see what happens come Sunday afternoon.
