Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Odds 2024: Latest Super Bowl 58 Odds

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers current Super Bowl odds are . The Buccaneers had their fair share of drama throughout last season as they went through Tom Brady’s short-term retirement, a plethora of injuries, and a late season push to make the playoffs. All that resulted in an early exit in the Wild Card round, as well as being without their quarterback going into the 2023 season as Brady has once again retired, but after a 3-2 start to the season under Baker Mayfield, their Super Bowl odds rebounded a bit, before a brutal loss to the fellow NFC South contender Atlanta Falcons complicated Tampa’s path quite a bit. The Bucs came close to a big comeback win against the Houston Texans this weekend, but were ultimately thwarted by a miraculous CJ Stroud last second drive to cap off a huge day. We’ll see if they can rebound this week against against a Titans squad coming off of a rough loss of their own.

To help cushion the loss of Brady, the Bucs signed Mayfield after an impressive short-term stint with the Rams late last season. In an effort to drive his own value back up after regressing the past couple of years, Mayfield now finds himself as the current starting quarterback for a Bucs team that is in the middle of a rebuild. The move looked great for both sides right from the beginning, as Mayfield led the Bucs to an upset win on opening day over the Minnesota Vikings, who went 13-4 last season before beating the Chicago Bears to bring the Bucs to a surprising 2-0.

Reality set in a bit with a Monday Night Football loss to the defending NFC Champion Eagles, but the Bucs picked up a key divisional win against the Saints, showing that they might have a real chance at a postseason berth. The Bucs more or less completely failed a major test against the Detroit Lions, who are a serious contender, but they have surely identified plenty to work on from that game film, and it will be interesting to see how they proceed as they really dig into the NFC South slate.

Mayfield could have found himself in worse situations as the Bucs have been able to salvage their wide receiver position, giving him perhaps the best pass catcher group he’s ever worked with. They retain Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as one of the best duos in football, as well as fielding Russell Gage as a solid third option. The harsh reality is that after their starting options at wideout, the Bucs suffer from a severe drop off in production with their lack of depth.

Speaking of depth, the Bucs are doing whatever they can to carve out any sort of production for their ground game. After ranking dead last in Off Rush DVOA last season, the Bucs have cut ties with Fournette and are opting into starting dual threat back Rachaad White. To help ease his load, the Bucs brought in Chase Edmonds with intentions of splitting carries in a dual back type of approach, although neither has been particularly effective thus far.

As for the offensive line, this unit was decimated by injuries last year and have serious question marks all over the line. This is a vital area that needs immediate improvement as their lack of production was made apparent last season when Brady had no time in the pocket to let plays develop. This resulted in numerous short term drives down the field as Brady was either hurried or their run plays were stuffed at the line, although the protection for Mayfield has been pretty solid thus far.

While many were fully expecting the Bucs to address their offensive line woes with their first-round pick, they went a different direction and beefed up their defensive line by selecting Pittsburgh’s Calijah Kancey. This was due to missing out on the first tier of offensive lineman, opting into taking the surefire number two option at DL. Kancey has drawn comparisons to Aaron Donald based on his build, giving the Bucs immediate starting production by wreaking havoc to opposing backfields.

Where the real value came from the Bucs is in their second round selection, drafting North Dakota State’s offensive tackle Cody Mauch. Mauch made a drastic climb up draft boards throughout the draft process, being pegged as high as the third best prospect at his position in some reputable mocks. After shoring up their two biggest weaknesses, the Bucs are trending in the right direction in their rebuild process, and it’s shown over the first few weeks of the season as they’ve been much more competitive than expected and even have a real chance to win the division with Mayfield at the helm.
