The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers December 8th, 2024 at Raymond James Stadium at 1:00 pm
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Raymond James Stadium on December 8th. The Buccaneers, with a 6-6 record, are looking to capitalize on their offensive strengths led by Baker Mayfield, who has thrown for 3,034 yards and 25 touchdowns this season. The Bucs’ rushing attack is bolstered by Bucky Irving, averaging 5.5 yards per carry. Despite some injury setbacks, including the loss of Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay’s balanced offensive approach and solid defensive efficiency (ranked 333) provide a formidable challenge for the struggling Raiders. The Raiders, at 2-10, face significant hurdles with key injuries, including Gardner Minshew II and Zamir White on the injured reserve list. With a depleted roster, Las Vegas will rely heavily on Alexander Mattison and Jakobi Meyers, both of whom are questionable for the game. Their defensive struggles further complicate their chances against a Buccaneers team that is more consistent on both sides of the ball. Given the Buccaneers’ home advantage and the Raiders’ injury woes, Tampa Bay is positioned as the stronger contender. The Buccaneers’ ability to exploit the Raiders’ weakened defense and their own defensive prowess make them the best bet for this matchup.
