Kevin Hoffman-USA TODAY Sports

Week 16 Matchup: Green Bay Packers (10-4) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-12)

TV Schedule: Sunday, Dec. 21, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX

Stadium: Raymond James Stadium

Line: Green Bay (-10.5)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one thing going for them in this Week 16 matchup. They will be playing at home — that is it.

Green Bay is coming off a loss against the Buffalo Bills, so I imagine they will come out firing on all cylinders in this one. There is also that fact that the Packers don’t lose a lot. Oh yeah, Tampa Bay is also one of the worst teams in the NFL. Green Bay also has Aaron Rodgers on its side, has one of the best offenses in the NFL and we could go on and on. The Packers will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 17, so there is no way they are going to want to lose this game heading into that one.

Tampa Bay has now lost four in a row. Although tanking is certainly frowned upon, why start winning now if you are the Buccaneers? They could end up with the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, but another win could kill that. Luckily for Tampa Bay, Green Bay is one of the best teams in the league, and the New Orleans Saints (Week 17 opponent) are capable of going off. Translation: The Buccaneers should lose their last two games, whether if they want to or not.

The Packers take the road for this contest, but they will still win with ease.

PREDICTION: Packers 42, Buccaneers 21
