Washington Commanders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

A high-scoring shootout could be on the cards at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Washington Commanders.

The Commanders have been one of the major success stories in the NFL this season, with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels enjoying an excellent start to life in the league.

Throwing for 3,568 yards during the regular season with 25 touchdown passes, Daniels is a quarterback with a bright future ahead of him.

Sunday’s game will be a great opportunity to see how far Daniels and the Commanders have come, since the rookie QB played his first professional game against the Buccaneers.

That game in Week 1 ended in a 37-20 win for the Bucs at Raymond James Stadium and now the much-improved Commanders will head back to Tampa looking to cause an upset in the first round of the NFL Playoffs this weekend.

Washington Commanders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers betting picks and predictions

Over 50.0 total points (-110)

With two defenses that are capable of giving up big plays, there should be plenty of points on offer in what could be the most entertaining game of the weekend in the NFL.

The Bucs secondary has been accused of allowing too many completions this season - they allowed the second-most completions and fourth-most passing yards in 2024 - and Daniels is a quarterback capable of putting long drives together.

There were 57 points scored when these sides met in Tampa at the start of the season and it would be little surprise to see Sunday’s game breach the 50-point total.

Washington are on a five-game winning streak going into this game and managed to score an impressive 151 points in that spell.

With Tampa’s Baker Mayfield throwing an impressive 41 touchdown passes this season, it adds further reason why the Over on the points total is the way to go here.

Jayden Daniels Over 233.5 passing yards (-110)

Given this should be a high-scoring game, in-form Daniels is worth considering to go Over 233.5 passing yards on Sunday.

As mentioned, the Bucs secondary has struggled this season and their vulnerability could end up costing them against a dangerous Commanders offense.

If Daniels gets some momentum going through the air, then the points could pile up quickly in this one at Raymond James Stadium.

Averaging 209.9 passing yards this season, Daniels looks capable of exceeding that on Sunday and surpassing the 233.5-yard threshold.

Jayden Daniels Over 45.5 rushing yards (-110)

Going all the way back to Week 1 and Daniels' first game in the NFL, the Washington playmaker impressed in his opening game against the Bucs despite the defeat.

While getting used to his new offense, Daniels returned to what he knew he could rely on: His own two feet.

Rushing the ball 16 times in that game, Daniels went for 88 yards on the ground against the Bucs in Week 1.

While he will look to go through the air more than he did in that opening game of the campaign, Daniels still looks to be good value to go for Over 45.5 rushing yards in Sunday’s playoff showdown in Tampa.
