As the Buccaneers come out of their bye week following a crushing loss to the division rival New Orleans Saints (+2.5)
they prepare for a rematch of the 2020 NFC Wild Card round against the Washington Football Team (+9.5). Although, things aren’t going so well for Washington through the first half of the season.
Washington has started off 2-6 after winning the NFC East last season. Granted, they won it with a losing record, but they aren’t anywhere close to contending for another division crown this season. After signing free agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the offseason, Fitz was lost in the season opener to a hip injury, opening the door for Taylor Heinicke to become the starter.
