NFL Week 7, 2018: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
16. Winston follows up with another four touchdown game
Isn’t it crazy to think how it only seemed like yesterday the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were viewed as one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their surprise 2-0 start? A lot has changed for the Buccaneers since those first two games of the regular season, including the quarterback position since Dirk Koetter has officially made the switch from Ryan Fitzpatrick back to Jameis Winston.
Some questioned whether Winston’s job would be in jeopardy when looking at the high level Fitzpatrick had been playing on, but at the end of the day, this seems like it was the best move for Tampa Bay. Finishing on the losing end against the Falcons was a tough pill to swallow for the Buccaneers since they easily could have won, but at least a four-touchdown game by Winston gives the team confidence heading into this weekend’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
Believe it or not, Cleveland’s defense has played surprisingly well so far in 2018, but they are coming off a brutal loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in which the team allowed 38 points. If Winston can be effective like the Chargers, the Buccaneers may actually have a chance of pulling off the win in this one.
