The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look to keep their winning ways alive when they host the Las Vegas Raiders from Raymond James Stadium in Week 14.

The Bucs are coming off a hard fought victory over the Carolina Panthers but will need to not walk into this game like they did last week. The Raiders are one of the worst teams in the NFL and are vying for the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft but they will fight. Las Vegas doesn't have a ton of playmakers but it will be important for the Buccaneers to focus on Maxx Crosby on the defensive side of the ball and rookie tight end Brock Bowers on the offensive side.

The Bucs are still dealing with a number of injuries on the defensive side of the ball and will turn to Vi Jones to try and help slow down Bowers with both K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell on the sidelines with injury.
