It’s no secret. Expectations are high for this Buccaneers team.
Following a 9-7 season, many are predicting that the Bucs will make a push towards the postseason for the first time in a decade. Behind a young core of talented offensive players, including Jameis Winston and Mike Evans, the Bucs appear to be poised for one of their best seasons in recent memory.
NFL.com thinks so, too. In his preseason power rankings, Elliot Harrison has the Buccaneers ranked No. 10 in the league.
“Tampa-ites ... Tampa Bay-ans ... (???) ... are pumped for this year's edition,” Harrison wrote.
