For my Bucs’ record prediction I predict 8-8.  I feel that the Bucs’ can win the same amount of games in one season than they did with Lovie Smith in two years.  I feel that Vegas toys with me by putting them at 7.5 wins for the season.  They do have a tough schedule to start the season, with games at Arizona and Carolina, and a tough one at home against defending Super Bowl Champs, Denver Broncos.  The Bucs can easily start 1-4 and fans could turn on them early.

The Denver game isn’t impossible because they have no quarterback so they could win and the Carolina game is on Monday Night Football where anything is possible.  At best they can be 4-1 but 2-3 is much more likely.  There’s a lot of back and forth traveling for the Bucs this season traveling to San Francisco and San Diego.  Both are winnable but the cross-country travel never helps any team.  They will be improved across the board but I really think that next season is where they contend for not only the playoffs but the division as well.
