Buccaneers: Super Bowl odds favoring Tampa heading into Week 11
Tampa Bay Buccaneers have high Super Bowl odds heading into Week 11
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got back on the right side of the win column and now enter Week 11 as one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
The Buccaneers are coming off a dominating 46-23 victory over the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday and were able to get that bad taste of defeat out of their mouths from a week before when they fell to the New Orleans Saints by 35 points.
With the win, the Bucs improved to 7-3 on the season and remain technically two games back of the Saints (7-2) who are in first place of the NFC South division while holding the tiebreaker over Tampa Bay.
As we enter Week 11 of the NFL season, the Buccaneers are now considered the team with the third-highest chances in the NFC of winning the Super Bowl. Here’s a look at the updated Super Bowl odds via Bleacher Report for some of the top contenders:
- Kansas City Chiefs: +350
- Pittsburgh Steelers: +550
- New Orleans Saints: +650
- Green Bay Packers: +900
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +900
- Baltimore Ravens: +1000
- Seattle Seahawks: +1600
- Los Angeles Rams: +1800
The Buccaneers have some work to do, but it’s clear Vegas likes their odds
There’s no doubt that we still want to see more progression from Tom Brady and that offense. There’s no question that we want to see the defense improve and continue to get pressure on the passer and create turnovers.
That being said, it should be noted that we’re basically two-thirds of the way through the season and the Bucs are still considered legitimate Super Bowl contenders and they’re right in the middle of things when it comes to the race for the NFC South and for a Wild-Card berth.
This team is different from what we’ve seen in years past and that has been displayed in their ability to bounce back when faced with adversity.
