Bucs’ Road (To Super Bowl) Less Traveled (Than Most)

May 16th, 2024

If you believe traveling and air miles drain one’s body and lead to exhaustion and a lack of stamina, then the Bucs ought to be in good shape this fall.

A man by the name of Bill Speros, typing for Bookies.com, did a breakdown on the number of miles each team will have to travel for road games in the 2024 NFL season.

Many people believe the less traveling the better as far as playing at peak condition and endurance. So per Speros’ research, the Bucs will be in good shape.

Speros has the Bucs traveling some 15,303 miles. That’s 10th best in the NFL.

Additionally, Speros has calculated that the Bucs will travel through the third-fewest time zones, tied with the Eagles, Crows, Colts, Bengals and Browns. The only teams traveling through fewer are the Steelers (10) and the Texans (8).

The Chargers get the short end of the stick in both categories. They have to travel the most miles (26,803) and cross the most time zones (36).

    Travel schedule and bye week date are great.
    The opponents seem pretty tough.
    All depends on D & O line coming together.

    After the last few years when it seems like we never got a late bye I am looking forward to seeing what the team does after week 11. Hell, I’m looking forward to every game this year, even the tough ones! I like the Bucs chances.

    I’m a big believer in these stats. The timing of travel is a big deal as well but when you travel less in general every interrelated aspect is reduced. Trap games less trappy with less travel.

    Going out to play the Chargers will be tough and I think by week 15, Harbaugh will have them playing well. I have the Bucs at 10-7 despite a loss to the Chargers. That’s a long, long time from now and I hope I’m wrong.

    Oh good. Time for the Bucs will win SB hype to begin.

    Obviously, the international games SKU some of those numbers a lot for a few teams.

    Now let’s get down to the real question: where are all these hottie flight attendants hanging out? They never seem to be on my flights lol.

    Now let’s get down to the real question: where are all these hottie flight attendants hanging out? They never seem to be on my flights lol.

    Here’s what Joe was told about hottie flight attendants years ago:

    The hotties have low job seniority. The older ones have the seniority and they get to choose better hours.

    So if you are looking for the hottie flight attendants (there really aren’t a bunch any longer), you have to fly at the crack of dawn or very late at night.

    Also, you can go fly in North Korea, they still have the hot stewardess.
