Where Can I Bet on the Bucs to Make the Playoffs?
You can bet on the Buccaneers to make the playoffs through most major sportsbooks in the US. You must be 21+ and in a state with legal sports betting to place a bet. Unfortunately, Florida does not currently offer legal sports betting. It's best you travel to a state nearby like Mississippi or Tennessee to place a legal bet on the Buccaneers to make the playoffs.
Looking Ahead: Bucs Playoff Picture
The 2023 iteration of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look quite a bit different than the last three playoff teams. Primarily, the Buccaneers will be looking to replace future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady at the helm. 2021 second-round draft pick Kyle Trask was in the driverβs seat for the position until QB Baker Mayfield was signed in March. Now there's a QB competition in Tampa Bay.
The Bucs will be led by a new offensive coordinator β Dave Canales, the former quarterbacks coach of the Seattle Seahawks. The team's record will likely reflect a rebuild, and while they may not be totally out of potentially making the playoffs, it should not be expected.
Do the Buccaneers Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
Yes. The Buccaneers have a chance to make the playoffs as do all teams before the NFL season begins. There are plenty of concerns the Buccaneers organization needs to address if they want to have a true chance to make the playoffs this year. While going just 8-9 last season, the Buccaneers won the NFC South in a year when the whole division struggled to stay consistent.
While the Buccaneers should not be considered a potential βbottom dwellerβ next season, it is tough to imagine a situation where they can be better with the amount of change they've endured this offseason. Could the division be down again and the Buccaneers sneak in? Sure. Likely? No.
Are the Buccaneers Out of the Playoffs?
No, the Buccaneers are not out of playoffs because the season hasn't kicked off. No team is out of the playoffs just yet. Although no team should be ruled out before the season begins, top sportsbooks like BetMGM are expected to be much lower on the Buccaneers than they were last year.
There will need to be significant moves made by Tampa Bay this offseason if they want to be a playoff contender. Unfortunately, the Buccaneers will most likely find their playoff chances in the middle of the pack at best.
