How many games are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers projected to win in the 2020 season? Here’s a look at the latest model for win totals across the league.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made some major strides during the 2020 free-agency period, including bringing in Tom Brady to play quarterback.
With Brady at the helm, the Buccaneers have surged up Super Bowl odds boards and have great chances to make the playoffs, according to all major analysts.
But how has Brady affected the win total number for the Buccaneers? What does that look like?
Here’s a look at the win totals for the Buccaneers and several other prominent franchises across the league, according to CBS Sports.
These are all the teams who have projected numbers of nine or more.
- Baltimore Ravens (11.5)
- Kansas City Chiefs (11.5)
- New Orleans Saints (10.5)
- San Francisco 49ers (10.5)
- Green Bay Packers (10)
- Dallas Cowboys (9.5)
- Philadelphia Eagles (9.5)
- Seattle Seahawks (9.5)
- Los Angeles Rams (9)
- Minnesota Vikings (9)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9)
- Buffalo Bills (9)
- New England Patriots (9)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (9)
According to the win totals, the Bucs would finish second- behind the Saints- in the NFC South Division. For those wondering, the Falcons (7.5) and Panthers (5.5) are both projected to finish sub-500.
If Tampa Bay finds a way to get to 9-7, you’re talking about a team with a legitimate shot at a wildcard berth and then you never know what will happen from there. There’s a lot of talk about how good the Saints could be- and there’s no doubt that they will be good- but I actually would love to take Brady in a playoff game over Drew Brees, no matter where the game is played.
The Bucs are taking the necessary steps forward to become a franchise that can compete on a consistent basis and it will be interesting to see how Tampa Bay performs with Tom Brady at the helm this season.
