How to Watch Buccaneers vs. Jaguars: Kickoff Time, TV Channel and Odds

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in a matchup of Florida teams that will go a long ways towards the Bucs' playoff chances.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hitting their stride at the right time.

However, they will now be facing a formidable opponent in the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Prior to Friday, the Jags did not know whether or not starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence would be available for the game, but it appears the former No. 1 overall draft pick is set to make a comeback after entering the NFL's concussion protocol following a late hit in last week's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The welcome sight of backup quarterback C.J. Beathard would have been great for a Bucs' defense working its way back from injury, but they will likely be facing one of the up-and-coming QBs in the league despite his recent struggles and subsequent boast of winning capabilities that have led the Jags to being one of the most non-wanted to teams to play against in the later half of the season.

Major Update Revealed on Trevor Lawrence's Playing Status Sunday Against Buccaneers
