00:00Washington Commanders are back in the playoffs. Feels like it's been a bit here.
00:04They've had a lot of close games this season, to say the least. They're taking on the Tampa Bay
00:08Buccaneers. The Bucs are three-point favorites. Both teams seem to score at will, and that's why
00:12this total is so high. Fifty and a half points in this game in Tampa Bay. Seems to me, on paper,
00:19these teams are pretty even here, Matt, if anything. Does Washington, you think, pull off
00:24the upset of the weekend? Seems like the hot pick for everybody in the NFL going in.
00:29Yeah, exactly, and that's what's scary about it, right? It's almost like everyone's looking
00:32at most of these games and, okay, I like the Ravens, you know, I like the Bills. They like
00:37all the favorites, and then they come to this game, they view it as a coin toss, and they go,
00:40well, I better take the underdog here because I need an underdog. But I think Tampa's the better
00:45team. I really do. I like, you know, Jaden Daniels is the type of quarterback who can make plays,
00:50make something out of nothing. He's the type of quarterback who tends to thrive in the playoffs.
00:54We've seen him have some dramatic, almost miraculous finishes this year. It's tempting
00:59to think that's going to continue. Tampa Bay is a really good running team. They can just line up.
01:04They can, you know, move the ball down the field that way, but then they also have a good passing
01:10game. Baker Mayfield will know he'll let it fly. Mike Evans is back. He's healthy. They really got
01:14Jalen McMillan going late in the year, who adds another, you know, dynamic level to that offense
01:20that we didn't think they'd have once Chris Godwin got hurt. They're just a really solid
01:24all-around team. They have the home field. You know, rookie quarterbacks in the playoffs,
01:28it's tough. They can be great in the regular season, but it's just a different game. Things
01:32slow down, and I think when things slow down, that's going to, that's actually going to favor
01:36Tampa Bay with Bucky Irving doing a lot of the dirty work.
