Buccaneers Predictions: Bucs record and NFC South division standings

Bucs Nation chimes in on how Tampa Bay will look with their record and in division standings.

We are a week away from the 2024 NFL regular season kicking off and predictions for the season are trickling in across the league. For us here at Bucs Nation and throughout the Buccaneers fan base, there is a sense of optimism for this upcoming season and why not?

There are several factors that are playing into positivity. The return of quarterback Baker Mayfield, the ability to retain big names like wide receiver Mike Evans, safety Antoine Winfield, Jr., and of course, left tackle Tristan Wirfs.

But with optimism there has to be a sense of being “cautiously” optimistic as well. There are still some questions with depth throughout the defense and new offensive coordinator Liam Coen has installed a system that hasn’t been tested yet.

Still, the overall feeling in and out of the Buccaneers organization is that of positivity. Same can be said for some of the fan bases throughout the NFC South. Former Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales has revived Carolina with some freshness, in Atlanta there is lots of hype behind head coach Raheem Morris and quarterback Kirk Cousins, and in New Orleans — well, they’re just the Saints I guess (dodges beignets being thrown his way before picking them up and eating them).

With all that being said, the Bucs Nation staff gives you predictions for the Bucs record as well as predict the standings for the NFC South for the 2024 season below.
