Is this a hot take? It feels like a hot take. Slandering the reigning Super Bowl champions isn’t going to sit right with many readers, but here it goes. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting gassed up entirely too often this offseason, with many outlets and media observers pointing to the Bucs as favorites to win their division. They shouldn’t be.
The oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook, for example, have Tampa Bay winning the NFC South at a -155 line, which would flip a $50 bet into an $82 haul. New Orleans isn’t too far behind at +275, which would yield $187 for the same ticket.
