Do the Buccaneers Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
Yes. The Buccaneers have a chance to make the playoffs as does 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 where the whole division struggled to stay consistent.
While the Buccaneers should not be considered a potential “bottom dweller” next season, it is tough to imagine a situation where they can be better with the amount of change expected this off-season. The Buccaneers will still have a great defense, changes at quarterback, offensive line, and trying to get under the 2023 salary cap, make the likelihood that they are in the playoffs slim.
Could the division be down again and the Buccaneers sneak in? Sure. Likely? No.
Where Can I Bet on the Bucs to Make the Playoffs?
You can bet on the Buccaneers to make the playoffs. Most major sportsbooks in the US will feature Buccaneers playoff chances and many other NFL futures bets. You must be 21+ and in a state with legal sports betting. 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.
NFL playoff odds are not available from sportsbooks this early into the offseason. Immediately after they are posted we will have the latest Buccaneers playoff odds updated weekly in this article.
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.
The 2021 second-round draft pick Kyle Trask is in the driver’s seat for the position as the only quarterback on the current roster, but do not be surprised to see the Buccaneers active in free agency and in the NFL Draft.
The Buccaneers will likely investigate free agent quarterback’s Jimmy Garoppolo, Drew Lock, Geno Smith, and others to compliment the quarterback room, as well as, potentially drafting a quarterback with the 19th pick of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Tampa Bay will be led by a new offensive coordinator – Dave Canales, the former quarterbacks coach of the Seattle Seahawks.
The Bucs find themselves currently $55 million over the salary cap, including $35 million in dead money with Tom Brady’s contract. The Buccaneers will be looking to re-sign linebacker Lavonte David and re-evaluate the contracts of offensive lineman Donovan Smith, running back Leonard Fournette, and tight end Cameron Brate to get under the cap limitations.
The team's record will likely reflect a re-build, and while they may not be totally out of potentially making the playoffs it should not be expected.
