Green Bay Packers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Team News

The biggest news for the Packers comes as receiver Davante Adams returned to practice this week. He has missed the last two games due a hamstring injury, leaving Rodgers without much help around him. If Adams practices in full any time this week, it could give the Packers' offense a big boost against the Bucs' defense.

#GoBics RBs LeSean McCoy, Leonard Fournette, WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, WR Justin Watson and WR John Hurst (who was on IR) have returned to practice today.

The same goes for Tom Brady, who seemingly lost all of his help during the past few weeks. But several key players returned on Monday for practice, including his two top receivers, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Running backs LeSean McCoy and Leonard Fournette also returned. If all four are ready to go for Sunday's game, the offense could certainly light up the Packers' defense.

Green Bay Packers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction

With Tom Brady on a new team, it's a whole different scenario for the battle between arguably the two best quarterbacks in the league. Rodgers continues to perform incredibly considering what he has around him, while Brady has seemed to struggle in the past few games but still showing that age is just a number.

With actual fans in attendance at Raymond James Stadium, it gives the Bucs a big advantage to win this game. The team is unbeaten at home, which further proves the point of home-field advantage. It will certainly be a great game that fans should tune into on screen if they are looking for a fun game to watch.

Prediction: Buccaneers win in an effort led by Brady.
