The Buccaneers revamped their team this offseason with a fresh look and fresh start at the quarterback position. Gone is former number one pick Jameis Winston and in is Canton-bound Tom Brady, who built a Hall of Fame career in New England with the Patriots over 20 years, including six Super Bowl wins.
With Brady under center, the expectation is that the Bucs will finally end their postseason futility. Tampa Bay hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2007 and hasn’t won a postseason game since their victory in Super Bowl XXXVII following the 2002 season.
While Brady will instantly add experience at the quarterback position for a team that had the league’s third-best offense last season, are the Bucs serious contenders to win the NFC in 2020?
According to FOX Bet, they definitely are.
I would certainly have had the Bucs in the top five on this list, but in all honesty, I’m a little surprised their odds are so high. I’d have put the Seahawks and even the Cowboys ahead of them (yes, the Cowboys). The NFC is a tough conference. Brady seemed to have it easy in the AFC East for the past decade. I like Tampa Bay’s chances of returning to the postseason, but I’m not confident yet in saying they can win the NFC.
