Commanders vs Buccaneers: Where to Watch and Odds
- Location: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay, Florida) | Time: 8:00 PM ET
- Where to Watch: NBC | Where to Stream: Peacock
- Spread: Buccaneers -3 | Moneyline: Buccaneers -162 | Total: 50.5
Olamide Zaccheaus Over 40.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
A lingering question for this offense all season has been identifying the WR2 behind Terry McLaurin. Recently, Olamide Zaccheaus has stepped up, recording 206 receiving yards and three touchdowns in the last three games. His 22 targets during that stretch are a significant uptick from the 15 he saw in the previous seven games. It’s evident that Jayden Daniels has developed trust and chemistry with the veteran late in the season, making his over on receiving yards a strong value play at this number.
Jalen McMillan Over 54.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
With Marshon Lattimore now in Washington, his rivalry with Mike Evans will reignite on Sunday night. This matchup may leave other Buccaneers pass-catchers responsible for stepping up to drive the offense. Rookie Jalen McMillan has been a standout over the past five weeks, racking up 316 receiving yards and a league-leading seven touchdowns in that span. He’s quickly become Baker Mayfield’s go-to target, especially after Chris Godwin‘s season-ending injury. Expect McMillan to continue his hot streak—bet on him to surpass his receiving yards prop.

Baker Mayfield Over 244.5 Passing Yards (-113)
Jayden Daniels Over 51.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
While Washington was blown out in the matchup between these two to open the year, the silver lining from their rookie quarterback was his rushing ability. Daniels scampered for 88 yards against this Bucs defense, constantly catching them off-guard with his scrambling out of the pocket. He has cleared this total five times in his last six full games, and this matchup has already proven to be favorable for him to utilize his running ability. Back the rookie to find some success on the ground on Sunday night.
Rachaad White Under 14.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles showed his level of trust in running back Rachaad White in their regular-season finale, and that level was quite low. White did see 18 snaps in the contest but failed to record a touch through the air or on the ground. He seems to have fallen so far out of favor with the team that third-string running back Sean Tucker got more burn than him against the Saints. Expect this trend to continue in a game where the Bucs will lean heavily on Bucky Irving to get the job done out of the backfield.
