Buccaneers Schedule Breakdown and Record Prediction
By Brian DeFeo
WEEK 8 Sunday October 30th 1:00 VS Oakland Raiders
In week eight, the Bucs start a three game home stand against Super Bowl XXXVII opponents, the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders will surprise some teams this year with two young studs on offense in Amari Cooper and Derek Carr and some key free agent signings on defense in Bruce Irvin, Sean Smith, and Reggie Nelson.
Jack Del Rio is a smart head coach that will lead the Raiders to many more wins in the coming years. But, the Bucs get the best of them this time after they have to fly cross-country to come down to Tampa. Carr keeps it close but the Bucs keep rolling to make it two in a row 28-20. (4-3)
