The Buccaneers come in at 6-5, currently riding a two game winning streak. The Buccaneers have looked impressive as of late, taking down elite competition such as Seattle and the defending NFC champions, Carolina. San Diego comes in at 5-6 off perhaps their most impressive win this season at Houston. This is also a unit that beat Denver, the defending Super Bowl Champion outright in San Diego. Despite claiming ownership to the number six rushing defense in the league, the overall defense of the Chargers remains a question as they have given up 27 or more points in each of the four matches they were involved in previous to the Houston win. The Chargers fell by incremental margins at Atlanta, Oakland, New Orleans and Indianapolis as they lost by a combined 11 points in these four games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Diego Chargers Prediction
Given the fact Tampa Bay has racked up three straight victories on the road, this one seems like a no-brainer to much of the public. Tampa Bay’s two most recent victories are enough alone to sell the Buccaneers as they own a victory at home against Seattle and a triumph away from Florida against the Kansas City Chiefs. Furthermore, San Diego has had a terrible time getting the running game going as they average less than 100 rushing yards per game. All these narratives are working on the psyche of the public in this one as the expectation here is Tampa Bay is underpriced and primed to roll the Bolts at home in an offensive-oriented affair. However, this perspective may be most hazardous as San Diego’s defense may show up and give this Tampa Bay a very difficult time in a defensive-oriented affair. We have seen Tampa Bay’s offense stall on numerous occasions. If Phillip Rivers is able to move the chains effectively as he has, San Diego may rout the Bucs let alone beat them and cover.
