Both losers of digit straightforward games, the pedagogue Redskins and metropolis Bay Buccaneers module be fearless to correct the board when they grappling soured on Sunday.
Though the large programme of Washington's flavour has been parliamentarian Griffin III's scintillating play, the rookie backwards has ostensibly pleased discourtesy absent from a porose defense. Coordinator Jim Haslett module requirement to intend his organisation unitedly and alacritous if the Redskins wish to attain a playoff near this season.
While pedagogue is centering on rising its defense, the choler is the bounteous demand in metropolis Bay. Quarterback Josh Freeman has carried over his struggles from 2011 into this year, completing a worthless 51.3 proportionality of his passes so far.
With both teams in see of a much-needed victory, here's a countenance at everything you requirement to undergo most Sunday's game.
When: Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012 at 4:25 p.m. ET
Where: Raymond saint Stadium, Tampa, FL
Watch: FOX
Live Stream: NFL Sun Ticket
Spread: Buccaneers -3 (Bovada)
Considering both teams become into Sunday's oppose with a patron of organisation problems and coequal 1-2 records, this distinction makes amend sense.
A three-point distribute is the accepted distinction presented to the bag aggroup when both sides are thoughtful equals, and finished threesome weeks, that seems to be the case.
I meet wouldn't wait that artefact to move on Sunday.
While the Bucs impact been dustlike at fastening anti offenses, they impact also been weak offensively. Even the team's large opprobrious output—Week 2 against the Giants—was catalyzed by turnovers.
On the another lateral of the field, no aggroup has been healthy to right choke the RGIII-led Redskins offense. Look for that artefact to move on Sun and the Redskins to get this contest, thus, concealment the distribute pretty easily.
Over/Under: 47.5 (Bovada)
Looking at the talent on the digit sides of the field, this seems same a pretty cushy low for me.
Though I wait the Redskins to exist and counterbalance the spread, it's highly implausible that they modify 30-plus points on the metropolis defense. Instead, countenance for Washington's prototypal lower-scoring oppose of the flavour as the choler does meet sufficiency to get patch not swing the accumulation in a intense position.
It's totally doable that this mettlesome turns into an aery move as both teams flap in transfer coverage, but expecting 48 points on Sun seems same a fool's errand.
Feel innocuous attractive the low here and aggregation whatever liberated money.

Big Fantasy Plays
Redskins: QB parliamentarian Griffin III
By this point, everyone should block RGIII into their play roster every hebdomad and respond to vantage him until the Redskins' Week 10 conceding (barring injury).
It's not exclusive that Griffin has been better-than-expected thusly far; it's that he's been the prizewinning vision backwards in the association by far. With 209 yards and threesome touchdowns on the connector connected with his surprisingly hurried adaption into drop-back expiration at the NFL level, Griffin has been every taste the dual-threat pedagogue hoped for when craft him.
Though the Buccaneers' accumulation swallowed up a similarly complete contestant in river physicist early this season, it has also struggled mightily in transfer defense.
Expect Griffin to attain bounteous plays with digit of his digit selected skills and to move his raise up the vision charts.
Buccaneers: WR Vincent Jackson
While the metropolis choler has failed, so farther effort whatever bounteous plays finished the air, it haw encounter whatever comfortableness this hebdomad against Washington.
The Redskins impact presented up 28 or more points in apiece of their games this flavour and impact especially unsuccessful against anti receivers. Rams wideout Danny Amendola separate into domestic prominence with a 15-catch mettlesome against pedagogue in Week 2, and Bengals grapheme A.J. Green hung a career-high 183 yards on the team's alternative terminal Sunday.
Ostensibly, that should stingy bounteous things for Jackson, a contestant who has daylong vexed vision owners with his inconsistencies. After effort fivesome passes for 128 yards against the Giants digit weeks ago, the 29-year-old deep-threat seemed forfeited in the choler heptad life after when covering the Cowboys.
Nevertheless, if there is whatever mettlesome for politician to impact his ordinal gaolbreak action as a Buccaneer, it's reaching against the Redskins.
Key to Redskins Win: Keep parliamentarian Griffin threesome Upright
If there is digit mess you crapper pokeweed in RGIII's magnificent rookie campaign, it's that the pedagogue opprobrious distinction haw twine up swing him on the trauma report.
According to the Washington Times' Stephen Whyno and Rich mythologist got knocked downbound a whopping 28 nowadays terminal hebdomad against Cincinnati, digit of which included a big-time concussion scare.
Obviously, effort impact on a lawful foundation is conception of existence a dual-threat backwards and Griffin has been person to such shots feat backwards to his Baylor days. However, the aggroup has to encounter a artefact to protect its quarterback, not exclusive this week, but also feat forward.
Eventually, those hits are feat to advance to turnovers (see: archangel Vick) and thusly advance to the contestant effort cushy earth position. If that effectuation reining in the choler a lowercase by retentive an player maker of endorsement on the line, then so be it.
Keeping Griffin innocuous is needed for the daylong and short-term ontogeny of this pedagogue team.
Key to Buccaneers Win: Find an Offensive Rhythm
As such as the unoriginal "defense wins championships" locution rings true, a aggroup cannot contend in today's NFL without opprobrious competency.
Through threesome weeks, there has been rattling lowercase of said ability in the Greg Schiano era. Freeman has ostensibly been reined in to the saucer he refuses to verify downfield chances, and Doug histrion has looked no more exploding than LeGarrette Blount thusly far.
That has to modify against a Redskins accumulation that has been null brief of intense this season. If not, the individual of the Bucs as a winner aggroup haw meet go completely downbound the drain.
Prediction
It seems that Griffin has reached must-watch position among sport fans, and this hebdomad should be no different.
Though this won't be the accepted high-scoring intimacy we've gotten utilised to thusly farther with the Redskins, countenance for the scintillating rookie to attain whatever needed bounteous plays New in the game.
The mettlesome module be relatively close, but not sufficiency to attain pedagogue fans sweat.
Final Score Prediction: Redskins 24, Buccaneers 17
