While I think you can make an argument for all 4 teams to win the NFC South a frightening 34 panelists (nfl.com) picked conference winners and here goes:
20 picked saints
12 picked falcons
2 picked panthers
ouch!!!
I think we have a chance and am surprised of these predictions, there are some reputable panelists here, But when 9 out of 10 say your an alcoholic...well?
I really could make an argument for any team..falcons are really intriguing to me and on the up and up...bryce young could surprise...saints have better qb play...bucs arent being respected
The Bucs are the Rodney Dangerfield's of the NFL.

That is, unless guys like Brady, Gronk, Fournette, Brown are part of an enhanced roster. Remember all the love the Bucs were getting by the talking heads in 2020 2021 and 2022? Those days are over, but personally I'm surprised the Bucs didn't get at least one damn vote!
I think we can go 9-8, 10-7 but it would require a career year by Baker. Feel this is our ceiling
Feel most likely is 5,6 wins
And if the wheels fall off could see us at 3-14
right now at 0-0, im all in on 10-7 baby!
Division is wide open. Talking heads get it wrong all the time.
We have a better chance than Falcons or Panthers in my book but Saints are tje favorites slightly.
Baker is only 28 and had a couple good years in Cleveland. If he was able to reproduce that we'll be in good shape. Maybe our ceiling is 10-7. If so, that would mean they are putting out a good competitive, entertaining team, not a sucky, boring team. So yeah it's in the realm of possibility so lets root for that. 10-7.I think we can go 9-8, 10-7 but it would require a career year by Baker. Feel this is our ceiling

SR says we're going 9-8! He would know wouldn't he? Now we just have to get T-Kraz and Ronnie on board the homer train. But you know what the first game of the season is coming up and it will all come out in the wash very soon. We'll talk on Week 1 Overreaction Monday on 9/11. If we win, we're Superbowl bound. If we lose we're playing for Caleb.
This team can do better than 9-8 IMO. Bucs should have had 10 wins last year but played like they were sleep walking through games with no sense of urgency The talent has taken a step down on offense but the defense has actually added more talent so I consider it a wash for this year.
Personally if the defense shows up fired up from the disrespect and the offense looks NFL average at least the Bucs can compete with anyone.
