Best NFL bets for Buccaneers games

There’s always a lot going on with the Buccaneers and the rest of the NFL. As you get set to bet on the games, there’s ample info to digest. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could get some details on the schedule, next matchup, team news and betting insights quickly and easily? Your wish has been answered. Take a look.

What is the Bucs moneyline?

Moneyline bets are great starting points for new bettors. Understanding moneylines is easy and the bets are simple to place. There’s also value to be found for experienced bettors, depending on the odds. An average listing for this type of wager looks like this on the BetRivers Sportsbook Florida app:

• Dallas Cowboys +160
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers -190

Odds are negative for favorites and positive for underdogs. The difference between the numbers points to the closeness of the matchup, at least in the eyes of the oddsmakers. For this example, the Bucs are decent-sized favorites over the Cowboys.

After the initial release of lines, the odds may move in response to betting action or other factors. For example, a lot of money on the Tampa Bay side could lead to the odds going to -200 or more while the Dallas side adjusts accordingly.

There’s a quick trick to figure out returns on moneyline odds. For negative numbers (betting the favorite), the number tells you how much you have to bet to win $100. For example, taking the Bucs at -190, you’d need to bet $190 to win $100 (plus get your $190 investment back). Positive odds tell you how much you get back on a $100 winning bet. In this case, $100 on the Cowboys at odds of +160 would net you $160.

Returns on moneyline bets depend on the odds. Winning bets on underdogs bring bigger returns, but that’s because oddsmakers see that outcome as less likely to happen. The lower the projected chances of winning, the longer the odds, and the higher the payout if the underdog pulls off the upset. Returns on heavy favorites, by contrast, are much smaller because you’re betting on the team oddsmakers think has a higher chance of winning.

When an underdog bet comes through, you double your money (+100 odds) or more. Returns on favorites that cash in are much more modest because these wagers are more likely to win.

What is the Bucs spread?

The point spread is incredibly popular for NFL betting. It can make even the mismatched games more exciting as it goes beyond which side will win or lose. The side you select has to cover the spread. Spread listings look something like this at online betting sites, such as Caesars and PointsBet Florida.

• New Orleans Saints +3.5 (-110)
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers -3.5 (-110)

There are two components to the line: the spread set by oddsmakers and the betting odds for the wager. Both numbers can change in response to betting action and other factors. Following the release, a 3.5-point spread could shift to three or four points.

Meanwhile, odds of -110 are the standard starting point, but they can shift by a few ticks. As a result, line shopping is very important here. You’ll want to get your bet in at the best possible price as the odds have a direct impact on the potential return.

Like betting a favorite on the moneyline, a spread bet with odds of -110 means you’d have to bet $110 to win $100. For a standard $100 spread bet at odds of -110, you’re looking at $90.90 coming back on winners. As the odds shift in either direction, your potential return rises or falls. While it may not seem like a big deal, these small differences can add up to a lot.

The choices for the spread bet are the favorite minus the points or the underdog plus the number. The spread tells you the perceived closeness of the matchup. A field goal or less should be a tight game, while a touchdown or more points to a paper mismatch.

It can be challenging to win point spread bets consistently, but those who manage to do so can build out steady and predictable returns. The spread factor makes even the most mismatched of games potentially appealing from a betting perspective.

Bucs totals (over/under) odds

Also known as an over/under, this bet is all about the total combined points scored in the game. There’s a benchmark number set by oddsmakers for the total, along with payout odds attached to both possible choices.

• Over 49.5 (-110)
• Under 49.5 (-110)

For this example, the bar is set at 49.5 points. Over bettors are happy with a result of 50 points or more, while those on the under side are hoping for 49 points or fewer. As with the spread, totals odds typically begin at -110 and can adjust from there as the week moves along.

Once again, you’ll want to take the time to shop around. One book could wind up with a total of 51 points or more while others stick at 49.5 or 50. Depending on which side you like, you may be able to get an extra half-point or more cushion, which can mean the difference between a win/push or loss.

There’s a general ballpark range that lets you know what kind of game to expect. If the total is set at 40 points or fewer, it shapes up as a more defensive-minded affair. Games with totals of 50 points or more imply potential shootouts.

You’ll find plenty of games in between those two ranges as well. They can go in either direction, so totals betting is far from easy. However, those who have a good feel for scoring and matchups, or build their skills up to do so, can find success.

As one of the big three pregame bet types for NFL games, over/unders bring in tons of betting volume. When you get a good feel for the market, the listed numbers provide you with a quick snapshot of what kind of scoring to reasonably expect from each game.

Bucs team props, player props & futures

There are plenty of other opportunities to explore beyond the pregame bets. Once you click through a Bucs game listing, you’ll find all of the available props. Meanwhile, you can watch the season as a whole via the futures market.

Props are essentially side wagers you can place on individual players, teams and the game as a whole. From a team perspective, options might include which side will have more rushing yards, while a game prop could be about whether overtime will be needed.

Player props continue to grow in popularity. It’s where fantasy sports and online sports betting meet. Wagers are based on individual accomplishments, such as:

• How many total TDs for Tom Brady – Over/Under 3.5?
• Will Rob Gronkowski score a TD – Yes/No?
• Total receiving yards for Mike Evans – Over/Under 90.5?

While you’ll find similar listings at various sportsbooks, it pays to shop around. For example, HardRock Sportsbook may have props for a player not listed at FanDuel Sportsbook. Meanwhile, the BetMGM Florida app could have better odds than what’s offered at Hard Rock.

There are also season-long props available on individual players, such as an over/under on total passing yards for Brady. These also fall under the umbrella of futures bets, a popular way to bet on the NFL nearly all year round. Top NFL futures options include:

• Super Bowl odds
• Division and conference winners
• Teams to make or miss playoffs
• Over/under on team regular season win totals
• Player award winners – NFL MVP odds, Rookie of the Year, etc.

Using the winner of the next Super Bowl as an example, Super Bowl odds come out right after the current Big Game is in the books. There will be odds for all teams in the league, and they’ll rise and fall based on betting action. Odds for a few favorites might look like this.

• Kansas City Chiefs +500
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers +650
• Buffalo Bills +1200
• San Francisco 49ers +1300

If you like the Bucs to pull off the repeat and they do so, a $100 winning bet at odds of +650 returns winnings of $650. Futures bets are another area where line shopping is imperative. You not only want to nail the winner but also get your selections at the best possible odds.

Bucs facts & trivia

While the Buccaneers are now considered one of the NFL’s elite teams, it hasn’t always been that way. There have been plenty of rough patches over the years, which makes the current run of success that much sweeter. Here’s a look at some of the more notable facts and figures about the NFL franchise in Tampa Bay.

When did the Buccaneers enter the NFL?

The Buccaneers entered the NFL as an expansion franchise in 1976. Initially slotted into the AFC West, they lasted only a season there. The Bucs were then moved to the NFC Central where they remained until the league realigned its divisional structure in 2002. Tampa Bay is now a member of the NFC North.

What are the Buccaneers worth?

Based on the latest NFL franchise valuations from Forbes, the Buccaneers check in with a current value of $2.3 billion. That places them in 29th on the list of 32 NFL franchises. The Dallas Cowboys are on top at $5.7 billion. The team was last sold in 1995 to Malcolm Glazer for $192 million.

How many times have the Buccaneers made it to the playoffs?

Tampa Bay has qualified for the postseason 11 times: six as division champions and five via Wild Card berth. The team’s first playoff appearance came in the 1979 season when they advanced to the NFC Title Game before falling to the Los Angeles Rams. The most recent appearance culminated with a victory in Super Bowl LV.

What numbers are retired by the Buccaneers?

The franchise has retired just three numbers to date:

• 55 – LB, Derrick Brooks
• 63 – DE, Lee Roy Selmon
• 99 – DT, Warren Sapp

The club also maintains a ring of honor. A total of 14 players and contributors have been honored to date, first for Lee Roy Selmon in 2009 and most recently for former defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin in 2020.

Have the Buccaneers ever been favored in the Super Bowl?

The Buccaneers have made it to the Big Game just twice in franchise history, winning both games. The two times they took the field for the Super Bowl, they were underdogs on the final betting line.

Super Bowl XXXVII – Jan. 26, 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA

• Oakland Raiders favored by four points at kickoff
• Final score: Buccaneers 48, Raiders 21

Super Bowl LV – Feb. 7, 2021 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL

• Kansas City Chiefs favored by three points at kickoff
• Final score: Buccaneers 31, Chiefs 9

What’s the longest losing streak in Buccaneers history?

Professional football in Tampa didn’t exactly get off to a great start. The Buccaneers went winless in their inaugural season in 1976, finishing at 0-14. The club opened up the following year with 12 straight losses to push the record to 0-26. The streak was finally broken with a 33-14 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 13.

Which head coach lasted the longest with the Buccaneers?

The first head coach in franchise history still stands atop the charts. John McKay patrolled the sidelines in Tampa from 1976 through 1984. He coached a total of 137 games, going 44-88-1 in the regular season and 1-3 in the playoffs. Jon Gruden is second on the list with 117 total games from 2002 through 2008.

Who are the Buccaneers’ biggest rivals?

As members of the NFC South, the current biggest rivals for the Bucs are the three other teams that reside in the division: the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. Prior to the 2002 season, the team was in the NFC Central, which included the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

How much did the Bucs pay Tom Brady in free agency?

In March 2020, the Buccaneers nabbed a big prize off the free agent market. The club agreed to a two-year, $50 million deal with QB Tom Brady. The contract was structured as $15 million in base salary with a $10 million roster bonus for each season, as well as the chance for $3.375 million in bonus money. The club and Brady agreed to restructure the deal after the Super Bowl win to keep him in Tampa through 2022.

Have the Buccaneers ever had the top pick in the NFL Draft?

The Buccaneers have had the top pick in the NFL Draft five times in franchise history. Here’s how they spent them.

• 1976 – DE, Lee Roy Selmon
• 1977 – RB, Ricky Bell
• 1986 – RB, Bo Jackson
• 1987 – QB, Vinny Testaverde
• 2015 – QB, Jameis Winston

Jackson never actually suited up for the Bucs. He went on to play pro baseball with the Kansas City Royals. The Buccaneers forfeited his rights prior to the 1987 draft where he was selected by the Los Angeles Raiders in the seventh round.

How many Buccaneers players are in the Hall of Fame?

Seven players and two coaches and executives who spent at least some time with the Buccaneers are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Here’s a look at the players and the years they spent in Tampa.

• DE Lee Roy Selmon, 1976-84
• QB Steve Young, 1985-86
• OG Randall McDaniel, 2000-01
• DT Warren Sapp, 1995-2003
• LB Derrick Brooks, 1995-2008
• WR Tim Brown, 2004
• S John Lynch, 1993-2003

Buccaneers’ single-season win record

The 2002 Buccaneers went 12-4 before storming through the NFC Playoffs and winning Super Bowl XXXVII over the Oakland Raiders. The club has managed double-digit victories just seven other times. The first came in 1979 when the team went 10-6 and ultimately lost in the NFC Championship game. The 2020 edition went 11-5 before going on to claim victory in Super Bowl LV over the Kansas City Chiefs.

How much are Bucs tickets?

Coming off the Super Bowl win, the Buccaneers are even more of a hot ticket. Season ticket prices were increased for the coming season, and individual game seats have become highly coveted on the resale market. For a general ballpark spot, here are the ranges.

• Low end seats begin at $46 and go up from there.
• Average ticket price of $89.48 for 2020.
• Higher end seats start in the $100s and increase dramatically.

Since seats at Bucs games are now highly sought after, prices on the resale market may vary. As the season moves along, quality of opponent, game time and how the team is playing are among the additional factors that can impact pricing.

Who owns the Bucs?

Hugh Culverhouse was the original owner of the team. The expansion fee for entering the league in 1976 was $16 million. Following Culverhouse’s death, Malcolm Glazer purchased the club from the estate in 1995 for $192 million. According to the latest NFL franchise valuations from Forbes magazine, the Buccaneers are now worth $3.7 billion.

Bucs sportsbook partnerships

The Buccaneers inked a deal with daily fantasy sports company Monkey Knife Fight in 2020, but the club has yet to join forces with a sportsbook or casino entity on the advertising front. Several other teams across the league have done so, so we’ll see what materializes in the future. On a league-wide basis, the NFL recently announced Caesars, DraftKings and FanDuel as its official sports betting partners.

Greatest Bucs individual performances ever

As a club that has been around for over four decades, memorable moments abound in Bucs history. That goes way beyond the pair of Super Bowl crowns earned to date. Here’s a look at three of the more impressive single-games performances in Tampa Bay franchise history.

• Brady throws for 5 TDs in win over Chargers: Three other Tampa Bay QBs — Steve DeBerg, Josh Freeman and Jameis Winston—have pulled this feat off, but Brady’s stellar performance in this shootout victory takes the cake. He threw for 369 yards on the day and tossed the game-winning nine-yard strike to Ke’Shawn Vaughn in the fourth quarter.
• Martin goes ballistic in 42-32 win over Raiders: During Doug Martin’s rookie season in 2012, he had himself a day at the expense of the Oakland Raiders. Martin was a one-man wrecking crew as he ran for 251 yards — a Bucs single-game record — and four scores in the road victory. He was a finalist for Rookie of the Year at the conclusion of an excellent debut campaign.
• Simeon Rice racks up four sacks in win over Washington: From 1999 through 2002, the Bucs made the playoffs four times in a row. The powerful defense of this era was a big catalyst for making that happen. In this 2003 contest, Tampa Bay took visiting Washington to the woodshed to the tune of a 35-13 win. Rice’s stat line included four sacks, six tackles and a forced fumble.

What are the odds the Bucs will get the No. 1 pick in the draft?

The top pick in the NFL Draft goes to the team with the worst record in the preceding season. Tiebreakers are implemented as needed in the event that clubs at the bottom finish with matching records.

The Buccaneers are among the favorites to win the next Super Bowl. Barring something catastrophic happening (injuries to Tom Brady or the entire offensive and defensive lines) the team isn’t likely to be in the high-draft mix.

A trade into the top spot isn’t out of the question, but it would be costly. Clubs that land on the first pick overall would be looking for quite the bounty to swap out: multiple draft picks and other assets.

If all goes according to plan, then the Buccaneers won’t be picking until the latter stages of the first round in 2022. The team last had the first overall pick in 2015, which they used to select Jameis Winston.
