5 Bold Predictions For Eagles vs. Buccaneers In NFL Week 11

Jameis Winston — The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers go head to head this week in the NFL. This game has playoff implications on the line with both teams sitting at 4-5.

5. Jameis Winston Will Be The Best Quarterback On The Field

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Houston Texans — The Philadelphia Eagles have struggled at the quarterback position all season. With Sam Bradford injured and Mark Sanchez looking to get the start, that doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon. Winston has looked good over the last couple of weeks, and against an Eagles secondary that is susceptible to giving up big plays through the air, Winston could end up being the best quarterback on Sunday.

4. Buccaneers Will Shut Down DeMarco Murray

4. Buccaneers Will Shut Down Eagles run game

Philadelphia Eagles v Carolina Panthers — Very quietly, the Buccaneers' defense is ranked sixth in the NFL in total defense and they rank 10th against the run. The Eagles are a team that likes to run the football, but they have struggled at times this season. Getting the run game going, which is so vital to the Eagles' offense, won't be an easy task against Tampa Bay.

3. Mike Evans Will Have Over 100 Yards Receiving

3. Mike Evans Will Have Over 100 Yards Receiving

NFL: Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — While the second-year receiving star, Mike Evans, might have started off 2015 in a bit of a sophomore slump, he has really put up numbers the last four weeks. In three of his last four games, Evans has 150 yards or more through the air to go along with eight catches in those three games. The Eagles are a team that can give up yards through the air and have yet to face a receiver like Evans.

2. Jordan Matthews Will Get Back On Track

Jordan Matthews — Jordan Matthews has not had the season that many expected him to have at the beginning of the year. After having 133 yards against the Cowboys, he followed it up with just 21 yards against the Dolphins. He just hasn't been consistent. With Mark Sanchez looking to start, Matthews could get back on track. Matthews is Sanchez's favorite target as he had all three of his 100-yard games and five of his eight touchdowns with Sanchez under center.

1. The Buccaneers Win On The Road

Dallas Cowboys v Tampa Bay Buccaneers — After winning just six games the last two years combined, the Buccaneers look like a respectable football team with a bright future ahead of them. The Eagles have been inconsistent and have struggled against good football teams all season. It's going to be a close game, but the Bucs will come out with the victory with Winston leading the game-winning drive.
