Tampa Bay Bucs Season Wins Prediction, Betting Odds 2017
The Tampa Bay Bucs are favored to win at least 8.5 regular season games in 2017, priced at -115 for both the OVER and UNDER.
ESPN recently proclaimed the Bucs among the most improved NFL teams during the off season, thus making their odds of winning OVER 8.5 especially enticing.
In particular, the offense appears to have taken a dramatic step forward. They got O.J. Howard out of the Draft to assist Jameis Winston.
“You got Desean Jackson in the middle of the field, Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking up,” ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi suggests.

This division should be the best in the NFL.
“You’ve got the last two MVPs in our division and the last two Super Bowl teams (from the NFC),” Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter says. “It’s just an unbelievable, competitive division. Our guys say, ‘Hey, this is possible because we beat those teams and then watched them make it to the Super Bowl.’ Expectations are a good thing, because if you don’t have them, you’re not going to be around as a player or as a coach.”
The Saints look like the odd man out here and even they should finish no worse than 8-8.
