Big play in his homies?
Joe predicts this one ends today.
And, just because it sounds fun, Joe will predict Emeka Egbuka will do the honors in his neck of the woods.
The Bucs’ fantastic rookie grew up about an hour south of Seattle. He has a bunch of friends and family attending the game with his mom handling all the tickets. But for all the Seahawks fans in his troupe, Mama Egbuka has a requirement: No Bucs gear? No ticket for you!
So what is Joe banking on Egbuka to do? That would be to score the first touchdown against Seattle this season from outside the red zone.
Per Rich Hribar of _Sharp Football Analysis_, there will be a [battle of wills](https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/bucs-seahawks-week-5-fantasy-football-preview-nfl-worksheet-rich-hribar-2025/) today in the Great Northwest.
> \* Seattle is one of three teams that has not allowed a touchdown from outside of the red zone.
>
> \* Tampa Bay has 5 touchdowns from outside of the red zone, tied for second in the league.
Why does Joe think the Bucs snap the Seahawks’ streak? The Seahawks are thin at safety (down two) and Seattle is also without two of their better defensive backs, Julian Love and Devon Witherspoon.
If the Bucs can score from outside the 20, Joe will be confident the Bucs are in the game.
