The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sit on the season with a 4-6 record through 11 weeks of the season. The team is scoring like one of the best teams in the NFL, while their defense continues to let them down weekly. If the team wants to turn things around, it starts with the defense.
ESPN has released its updated playoff predictors, and the Bucs is starting to feel like the playoffs may soon be out of reach.
They did get a boost from teams losing while they healed up during their Bye Week. Their playoff chances rose to 32%, and their chances of winning the division jumped to 27%.
While those odds are increased, their chances of earning a Bye Week in the playoffs or making the Super Bowl remain long. Those odds sit at less than 1% and 2%, respectively.
Regardless of those final two numbers, there is plenty to be excited about if you are a Bucs fan with the odds looking better.
