Eight months ago, the Buccaneers were the second betting choice (+700) to win the Super Bowl behind the Bills (+650). After clinching the NFC South last weekend, the Bucs are +2000 to take home the league championship.
Over the past five weeks, three teams had Tom Brady on the mat in the fourth quarter with at least a 10-point lead.
The Saints led Tampa by 13 points with the ball and 5:31 left in the game. On fourth-and-1 on the Bucs’ 44-yard line, News Orleans decided to punt instead of keeping the ball out of Brady’s hands.
