The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will still start their top players in Week 18 despite having clinched a postseason berth.

While many people believe it is absurd to start the seasoned quarterback in a pointless regular-season affair, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles disagrees.

With a mark of 8-8, the Buccaneers have a great chance to end the regular season positively and gain a lot more confidence going into the NFC Wild Card stage. Remember that Brady has a history of success versus this team. Although the Falcons have held their own in recent games against the Buccaneers, they still haven't defeated Brady in a contest.

Both the Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons want to end the regular season well. For the Buccaneers, they need to pick up steam for the postseason. Other than that, the two teams only have a little to play for on Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aim to end the 2022 season with a winning percentage and extend their three-game winning run into the playoffs. The Falcons are striving hard to end their campaign strongly while maintaining the progress of many talented players.

Tom Brady has found form late in the season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady will be attempting to show that the offensive ferocity they demonstrated in a 478-yard effort against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17 can be sustained, making them a significant postseason danger.

Following Sunday's victory over the Carolina Panthers, Tom Brady declared his intention to start in Week 18.

The 45-year-old quarterback completed 34 of his 45 throws for 432 yards and three scores in his last outing.

That is the showing you wish for just before the postseason. The Buccaneers will have the opportunity to capitalize on that success this Sunday when they take on a weak Falcons squad.

Even while Brady isn't as crisp as he used to be at his peak, he can still make some spectacular throws.

The Buccaneers face the defensively vulnerable Falcons on Sunday. So we anticipate Brady doing well and accumulating those fantasy points.
