Tampa Bay opened the season at 6-2, but it ended up falling off down the stretch, winning just of its last nine games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6w\">There were some positive signs for the Buccaneers, though, including rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka leading the team in receiving yards, and Baker Mayfield putting together another solid season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6z\">Will Tampa Bay be able to bounce back in a weak NFC South? Let\u2019s take a look at where they are in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/2027-super-bowl-odds-for-every-nfl-team-seahawks-rams-bills-lead-way\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2027 Super Bowl odds<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Buccaneers Super Bowl 61 Odds<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"75\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">The Buccaneers are on an island as the only team with +4000 odds to win the Super Bowl in 2027 on DraftKings. They\u2019re just behind the Dallas Cowboys (+3500), with the Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears both at +2500 ahead of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">Tampa Bay is firmly above the Washington Commanders and Pittsburgh Steelers, both at +6000, behind them, though. On top of that, the Buccaneers easily have the best odds in the NFC South, ahead of the Atlanta Falcons (+8000), New Orleans Saints (+10000), and Carolina Panthers (+10000), but that\u2019s not saying much.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">The benefit of playing in a weaker division means that the Bucs have an easier path to a home playoff game, but they have just two postseason victories since reaching the Super Bowl in the 2020 season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\">Tampa Bay has a big decision to make this offseason with veteran wide receiver Mike Evans. Egbuka has emerged as a legit threat, but having Evans alongside him would give Tampa Bay a solid one-two punch on the outside.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7n\">The Bucs could also lose a few pieces on defense with cornerback Jamel Dean and linebacker Lavonte David set to hit free agency. On offense, running back Rachaad White and tight end Cade Otton join Evans as players set to hit the open market.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7q\">All in all, these +4000 odds for the Buccaneers are probably fair given where they\u2019re at right now. They\u2019re the best team in their division, but still a few steps away from competing in the NFC.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7v\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7y\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"81\">Unlock $200 in bonus bets \u2014 all without a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/draftkings-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">promo code for DraftKings<\/a>.
