WEEK 13 Sunday December 4th 4:25 @ San Diego Chargers

Coming off of two consecutive losses, the Bucs fly to San Diego to take on the Chargers.  The Bolts had the third worst record in the NFL last season but they are a much better team than their record showed.  This team was decimated with injuries on offense and defense and I’m surprised they won as many as they did.  They were on their fifth starting wide receiver by the end of last season.  But, with a down year means a top prospect and the Chargers have a chance to take the best non-quarterback in the draft, if the Rams and Browns do what they should.

They will have their choice of Jalen Ramsey, Joey Bosa, Laremy Tunsil, DeForest Buckner, and every other top prospect out there.  The Chargers will be a much better team than they were last season but it won’t help them this week.  The Bucs pass their win total from last season and beat the Chargers 27-18. (7-5)
