as we do it every year, let’s guess our record

I'll be pesimistic and say we go 7-10 this year, at least we get rid of bowles, but we probably lose baker in the end

If we go 7-10, it’s likely baker didn’t perform as well as prior years and similar to 2025; so good riddance if we go 7-10. How is that better than the freeman, Winston years? 

im going to say Baker and the offense bounce back. Going to also say the defense and special teams improve but still mid with the offense leading the way 

given the rough schedule though, I’m suggesting division winners at 9-8

4-2 in division (losing prime time game)

3-1 in AFC North (losing to ravens)

1-3 in NFC North (beating Vikings only, losing prime time game)

1-2 in other games (losing prime time game to Dallas, also to rams, nice win over chargers)

If the teams the Bucs face have a lot of injuries, then the Bucs go 10-7.

Sticking with my original prediction of 6 wins, so 6-11

9-8

They may win the division at 9-8.  Whoopdedoo.  

Wins Bengals, Browns, Vikings, Steelers, Panthers, Falcons 2, Saints, Chargers

Losses:  Packers, Cowboys, Bears, Lions, Ravens, Rams, Panthers. Saints. 

If the Bucs want to be taken seriously they have to go at least 2-2 against the NFC North, but if they don't they'll just prove they're just a middle of the pack team and that's all they're going to be.  You don't come away from this season with a middle of the road record and try to claim you're building something. This is the year to make something happen...well I thought it was last year.  There's only so long that you can struggle around and try to frame it as a building process.  

Hope I'm wrong.

Anyone doing predictions prior to the first game is feminine, goofy, and just plain silly.

I am always 100% accurate after the season ends.

Now or never for Todd Bowles. Really if a miracle happens as really do or die for coach Bowles.

Look at macho masculinity over here...

I'll say they're pretty much around where they were last year. Probably 7-10 wins. Anything more be ecstatic about it with a genuine shot at super bowl if they keep it up in the playoffs. But anything close to my prediction or under should seriously get the consideration to fire our hc. He's mid to low and just flat out predictable. Hopefully im wrong and were on our way!

I'm going optimistic. 8 win floor, 11 win ceiling.

I think our d-line looks promising.

I think our wr crew looks balanced.

Baker chip on his shoulder.

Bucky healthy.

LB improved.

Give me 10 wins

i mean, it's pretty clear we will be between a 6 and 10 win team.  

under Bowles - 8, 9, 10, and 8 wins.

Our over/under is 8.5

we are favored in 9 games

5 of those 9, we are favored by 1.5 points.

an outlier would be us winning 11 games. 

Bucs face some premier QBs this year - Burrow, Jackson, Herbert, Stafford, Prescott, Williams, Goff, Love.

That is why I can't see this team winning 10 games going up against top tier QBs.  8 to 9 wins is the ceiling on this team unless Mayfield can outduel some of these top tier QBs.
