Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 2013 NFL Team Preview

2012-2013 Regular Season: 7-9 SU | 10-5-1 ATS

From the surface it looks like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wasted another season going just 7-9 SU last year. However, Buccaneers backers can draw lots of positives since it marked a 3-win improvement from their 2011 performance. Also, the Bucs were one of the best teams at beating the spread; they were 10-5-1 ATS, just half a game behind four other teams who tied for the top spot.

And more positives from last year: the Bucs were #1 in rush defense allowing only 82.5 yards per game; #4 for first down rush defense allowing only 4.7 yards per carry; the moral victory in the final game of the regular season when they upset the Atlanta Falcons, 22-17 and covered as 3 point underdogs.

Can Tampa Bay continue containing opponents on the ground? Can they improve on their passing defense and overall offensive production? Can the Buccaneers improve their 7-win output last year? Bucs’ Regular Season Wins Total (Over/Under) is set at 7.5. Tampa Bay Super Bowl 2014 odds are priced at +5000.

Key Betting matchups of 2013 NFL Season:

Week 8 and Week 13 vs. Carolina Panthers – The Bucs won both match-ups with the Panthers last season going 2-0 ATS as well.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers bettors should pay attention to:

– The Bucs’ rush defense after losing both defensive players Michael Bennett and Roy Miller to free agency.
