Divisional Round picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs at Lions

The Bucs overwhelming underdogs among expert picks for Sunday’s Divisional Round matchup vs. Detroit.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played with an underdog mentality all year. It seems like they’ll have no problem evoking that against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

The Bucs were also underdogs against the Philadelphia Eagles at home, and they proceeded to soundly defeat them 32-9 — even then, though, a Bucs pick among experts and pundits was not uncommon. Here, though, Tampa Bay is traveling to Detroit into a fervent home-field advantage, and most pickers on the internet don’t like their odds. The Lions are overwhelming favorites, so the Bucs would have to pull quite the upset to make it to the NFC Championship game.

Wild Card picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Eagles

See how experts and pundits picked Tampa Bay’s upcoming Wild Card showdown against Philadelphia in Raymond James Stadium:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing playoff football, and they’ll host a matchup that appears quite controversial among football fans, experts and pundits alike,

The Bucs finished the year 9-8 as a division winner, boasting the worst record of any playoff team in either conference. Despite this, though, they’ve won five of their last six and their opponents, the Philadelphia Eagles, have lost five of their last six. The Eagles are coming in with more injuries than Tampa Bay, but despite that, BetMGM has them favored over the Bucs by three points.

Here are how the internet’s experts and pundits picked this upcoming game, with Tampa Bay hosting as home underdogs:

Bucs Wire staff picks for the NFC Wild Card matchup against the Eagles

See how we see Monday’s big Wild Card matchup shaping out as the Bucs face the Eagles at home:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played some important games this season in their hunt for the NFC South, now, every game is important, and to lose is to go home.

The Bucs are set to play the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round on Monday for their eighth playoff game in four years. They come into the matchup as betting underdogs, but public perception doesn’t quite match — the Eagles have lost five of their last six games and come into the contest far more injured than Tampa Bay. Should the Bucs win, they’ll move on to the divisional round, and should they lose, their 2023 campaign will be cut short.

We here at Bucs Wire make our staff picks for every game, and of course, this is no exception. See how we picked Tampa Bay’s playoff matchup below:

Bucs Wire staff picks for Week 18 against the Panthers

Here are our picks for Tampa Bay’s big NFC South-clinching matchup (again).

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn’t quite take care of business against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. Now, during the last game of the regular season, they have a chance to rectify that — and it will be against a very manageable opponent.

The Bucs are set to face off against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and should they win, they’ll make the playoffs with third-straight division title. Lose, though, and they’ll almost certainly be sitting at home while either the Saints or the Atlanta Falcons take home the crown instead.

As always, Bucs Wire has our picks for the matchup, and we’re all pretty much in agreement on this one despite the stakes.

Week 17 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Saints

The Bucs are a unanimous favorite for the first time all year.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one win away from clinching the NFC South, and experts are fairly confident they’ll get that victory Sunday.

Experts and pundits online have never picked the Bucs to unanimously win a game all year — until now. The Bucs have been picked entirely across the board to win against the New Orleans Saints on New Year’s Eve, the first time that’s happened this season. As it stands, Tampa Bay is on a four-game winning streak with an offense that has scored more than 30 points in its last two games.

See how everyone picked the matchup below:

Win and in. See if our staff has the Bucs clinching the NFC South title on New Year’s Eve:

If there was ever a game to win in the regular season, it’s this one.

Not only do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the opportunity to clinch the NFC South at home on New Year’s Eve, but they have the opportunity to do so against one of their biggest rivals in the New Orleans Saints. Win this game and Tampa Bay is in — lose, and they’ll have to try again next week against the Carolina Panthers.

The Bucs drubbed the Saints in New Orleans 26-9 last time they played each other in Week 4, but this matchup will bring a different set of circumstances with far more desperation from the Saints. Bucs Wire puts in our predictions for each game every week, and this week, our staff all seems to be on the same page:

Week 16 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Jaguars

Experts are favoring Tampa Bay by a good bit in this Christmas Eve showdown.

Things looked dire for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just three games ago, but now, experts and pundits have no problem picking them to win games against tough opponents.

The Bucs are set to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at home on Christmas Eve, and as always, plenty of people and publications have given their picks for the game. And while Jacksonville has a winning record and the Bucs are playing .500 football, quite a few of them believe that Tampa Bay will get the job done come Sunday.

Check out how experts and pundits from around the internet see this sunshine showdown going:

Week 14 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs at Falcons

See who online publications are taking in this crucial NFC South battle:

The landscape of the NFC South could be set to change after Sunday’s NFL action. At least, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hope so.

The Bucs are set to play the Atlanta Falcons on the road in a matchup that could seal their fate or extend it, depending on how things go. Should Tampa Bay win, they’ll hold the NFC South crown for the moment on common opponents over Atlanta — lose, and the Falcons will be two games up and will almost certainly take the crown for good with a lead like that and the New Orleans Saints lagging behind.

Experts and pundits gave their picks for the game this week, and the Bucs aren’t heavily favored going into the matchup. See how they see this one going below:

Bucs Wire staff picks for Week 14 against the Falcons

Here’s how we see Sunday’s big NFC South game going for Tampa Bay:

Make or break, do or die, call it what you will — the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday for Week 14’s action, and it’ll determine whether or not the Bucs control their own destiny for a potential playoff bid or will be almost certainly eliminated from postseason contention altogether.

The Falcons beat the Bucs last time around 16-13, and they sit one game ahead of Tampa Bay. Should the Bucs win, they’ll lead the NFC South on common opponents with invigorated life for a playoff bid. Should they lose, however, they’ll be two games back from Atlanta with little hope of recovery.

We here at Bucs Wire give our predictions for each Bucs game every week, and this is how we see Sunday’s matchup going:

Week 13 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Panthers

The Bucs are big favorites against the 1-10 Panthers for this Sunday’s game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing their first NFC South rival since Week 7 on Sunday, and it’s a game they have to win.

The Bucs are set to play the Carolina Panthers for Week 13, and Tampa Bay miraculously remains just one game back from the NFC South lead. A win over the Panthers would be big to maintain that gap if the team has any hopes for competing for the division title after losing six of its last seven matchups.

Here is how experts and pundits from numerous publications and websites see the matchup between Tampa Bay and Carolina going:
