  • Based on preseason odds, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are +150 to make the postseason in 2024-25.
  • Tampa Bay has won the division four years in a row.
  • Why the Bucs are a good live betting candidate, if you expect them to make the playoffs.

Based on NFL odds and Buccaneers playoff odds, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are predicted to miss the postseason this year.ย 

Tampa Bay, whose major offseason storyline was Dave Canalesโ€™ departure, is +150 to reach the postseason. That price implies a probability of 40%.ย 

Conversely, the Buccaneers are -185 to miss the playoffs next season for an implied probability of 64.9%.

Prediction: Will the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Make the Playoffs?ย 

I predict the Buccaneers will miss the playoffs this season. However, if you like Tampa Bay to make the playoffs, theyโ€™re a good live betting candidate.ย 

Tampa faces a brutal schedule to open the season. Of their first 10 games, seven come against opponents with season win totals set at 9.5 wins or higher.ย 

In their final seven games, they face only two such games.ย 

While Iโ€™m not bullish on Tampa Bayโ€™s chances, bettors could get a nice price if they expect Tampa, who retained all key personnel, to make a fifth straight playoffs.ย
