OVER 8.5 Wins (+115)UNDER 8.5 Wins (-136)<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers’ win total is set at 8.5, with the UNDER juiced to -136 for the upcoming season. That means they have a 57.63% implied probability of going 8-9 or worse in 2026.<\/p>\n
I think that makes the Buccaneers an underrated team heading into the season. Let’s remember that during their 2-7 stretch in the second half of the season, they had four straight losses to close out the year, all by four points or less. I expect some late-game variance to swing back in their favor.<\/p>\n
There’s also no doubting that the Buccaneers have the best quarterback in the division. The Falcons have a huge question mark at the position; Tyler Shough still has some developing to do, and Bryce Young isn’t the guy in Carolina.<\/p>\n
The most important factor for the Buccaneers this season is that their offensive line is expected to be healthy after being decimated last year. Tristan Wirfs, their All-Pro left tackle, will be ready to go, which is going to make a huge difference when it comes to Mayfield’s production.<\/p>\n
They aren’t going to be a Super Bowl contender this year, but I expect them to re-establish themselves as the best team in the division and to hit the OVER on their win total of 8.5<\/p>\n
