7 bold Washington Commanders predictions at the Buccaneers in Week 1
The Washington Commanders are about to embark on one of the most fascinating seasons in the franchise’s illustrious history. Josh Harris’ ownership group, general manager Adam Peters, and head coach Dan Quinn implemented wholesale changes across the organization this offseason. Hope is slowly being restored among the fanbase, so making the necessary progress in 2024 is crucial.
Nobody is anticipating the Commanders to win the NFC East or perhaps even make the postseason. There was a monumental mess for Peters to clean up. This might be a slow burn rather than an explosion into relevancy, but Washington isn’t the laughingstock of years past anymore.
First up for Quinn and his new-look roster is a trip to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are the defending NFC South champions and brought almost everyone of note back this offseason. There is continuity on their side, but the unknowns from Washington’s standpoint might work in their favor when push comes to shove.
Football is back and we couldn’t be happier. With this in mind, we made seven bold predictions for the Commanders in Week 1 at Raymond James Stadium.
