The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) are looking to snap a three-game losing streak when they travel West to take on the Houston Texans (3-4) in Week 9, but it's not going to be as easy as it may sound.

With C.J. Stroud leading the way, the Texans have been a lot more competitive than people thought they would be. The same can be said for the Bucs, to an extent. Many people had them winning three games all year long, much like the Texans.

Will you be able to watch the game on TV? If you live in the blue areas on the map below you'll get this game on your local CBS channels, according to 506sports.com:

The Bucs-Texans matchup is competing with four other games, namely the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens. If you live locally to Houston or Tampa Bay, you'll be able to watch the game on your local CBS channel. But you'll have to rely on streaming or another service if you live outside the area.

The broadcast crew will consist of Ian Eagle and Charles Davis, with Evan Washburn reporting from the sidelines.

If you can't watch the game on TV, there are always streaming options such as Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV, DAZN, FuboTV, and many others.

Or, if you'd rather listen to the game on the radio, check out the Buccaneers Radio Network for local stations.

This game figures to be a low-scoring, defensive contest. Both offenses are up-and-down, at best, but Todd Bowles and DeMeco Ryans have the defensive side of the ball humming. The winner will be the team that makes the fewest mistakes in terms of both execution and turnovers. It's that simple. 

The Bucs are going to have to find a way to get their ground game going, even though that will be much easier said than done. Baker Mayfield also needs to be more accurate down the field, as well. If he can hit some explosive passes, the Texans defense will back off, which would then allow the Bucs' passing attack to work the underneath game. And, of course, rushing lanes will open up a lot easier.

If that happens, then the Bucs will have a great shot at overcoming their 2.5-point underdog status.
