The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Landover, Md. this week to take on the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field. Neither team is having an ideal season, but the Redskins came away with a 24-10 victory when these teams met in the preseason. With that in mind, here are five bold predictions for Sunday's game between the Buccaneers and the Redskins.

The rookie running back made his much-anticipated debut last week against the Atlanta Falcons. While Sims struggled, with just eight carries for 23 yards and a fumble, the Buccaneers love his potential and should look to get him more involved in the offense this week.

Wide receiver Leonard Hankerson is expected to be active for the first time after missing all season while recovering from ACL surgery last December. While Hankerson has yet to sort out his role in the offense, at 6-foot-2 he is the biggest receiver on the Redskins' roster and has value in the red zone.

This will be Griffin's second game back from an ankle injury he suffered early in the season. Coming off a bye, Griffin should be well rested and ready to put up some big numbers against the Buccaneers' 31st ranked pass defense.

2. Redskins Will Win 28-24

Neither one of these teams is very good, but playing at home and coming off a bye, the Redskins should have a distinct advantage against the Buccaneers.

Following last week's loss to the Falcons, Buccaneers starting quarterback Josh McCown shed a few tears in his postgame press conference. Unfortunately for McCown, another loss this week could equal more of the same.
