Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers host the Washington Commanders in Week 1 of the NFL 2024 season. Baker Mayfield has great pressure on his back, but considering his salary, that’s normal. The Commanders are restructured, making the team virtually from scratch. Let’s see what they can do.
Before Betting on Commanders vs. Buccaneers
Dan Quinn replaced Ron Rivera, and we believe this is going to be a jackpot for the Commanders. Also, all the moves during the summer free agency were excellent. Quinn decided to give his confidence to the second overall pick at this draft, Jayden Daniels, and with the restructured team, this is the start of a new chapter for the team from DC.
Quinn likes hard defense, and all the edges he brought to Washington indicate that this team will be very powerful and aggressive on the defensive side, not allowing the rivals to impose their own game.
The majority of the NFL community believes that Baker Mayfield received way more money than he actually deserves. He already has a chance to prove them wrong in the first round. We all know his talent, but whether he will be consistent—that’s something to be seen.
About the Bucs. This team has won the division for the past three years. Yes, NFC South is bad, but still, this is a success, no matter what. The team is more or less the same, with some minor improvements, and the locker room already has chemistry, which is incredibly important. We’ve seen how that worked last year when the team clicked when it mattered the most.
Commanders vs. Buccaneers Head to Head
The Commanders’ all-time series record is 13-12. They also hold the bragging rights, having beaten the Bucs in the most recent matchup, back in 2021, 29-17 in DC.

| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commanders | +155 | +3.5 | 42.5 |
| Buccaneers | -185 | -3.5 | 42.5 |
The Commanders have potential, but since the entire team is new, with the new quarterback, who is, by the way, a rookie, we take the Buccaneers to win. Their experience and the previously mentioned chemistry will decide this game.
