The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have clawed back into the top of the NFC South and again find themselves in the playoff picture. They haven’t been in this spot since Week 6 when they were 4-2.
As they hit the home stretch of the season, the Bucs now can seemingly control their own destiny in the NFC South.
Despite losing both games to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, the Bucs can win the division if they win out. This past week, the Bucs defeated the Raiders, while the Vikings shellacked the Falcons and brought Kirk Cousins back home to Minnesota.
The odds for the Bucs last week compared to this week saw them take a 20% jump as they now have a 76% chance to make the playoffs. They also improved their chances of winning the division, which ESPN now has at 74%.
The Bucs will play the Chargers on Sunday while the Falcons attempt to get things back on track against the Raiders.
