Match preview

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on a three-match winning streak having got the better of the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts and Falcons, and they can push on to four with a success over the Buffalo Bills.

Wide receiver Antonio Brown is suspended but Mike Evans and Chris Godwin still make for one of the best WR duos in the NFL, while tight end Rob Gronkowski has stepped up with 17 catches for 252 yards and two touchdowns over the past three games.

Bucs running back Leonard Fournette looks set to see a fair amount of the ball as the Bills are weaker against the run than they are against the pass. Fournette racked up 100 yards and three scores during Tampa Bay’s Week 12 victory over ­Indianapolis.

Quarterback Tom Brady is having another stellar season and is likely to torment a Buffalo defence that will be without star cornerback Tre’Davious White for the rest of the year.

Buffalo’s 14-10 loss to New England on Monday is barely worth analysing as the harsh weather conditions made passing almost impossible. What does matter is that this reeling Bills team have had a short turnaround after a tough physical battle and have lost four of their last seven contests.

The Bills are 1-3-1 against the handicap in the last five meetings between the teams. The Bucs have won their last eight home games and this should be another.
