Gamblers Don’t Like The Bucs’ Odds For 2026
February 10th, 2026
Longshot.
By and large, Bucs fandom is down on the Bucs in 2026.
You read it in the comments on the various articles on this here corner of the interwebs. You hear it virtually non-stop on local sports radio when the subject is the Bucs. You see it all over the place on social media, specifically TikTok.
Many, if not most Bucs fans, wanted someone high up at One Buc Palace to inspire change. That largely did not happen.
As a result, Bucs fans far and wide are bummed out if not depressed by the immediate outlook for the Bucs.
Is seems so too are our friends in the desert. The gambling house DraftKings came out with its odds of every NFL team winning the Super Bowl next year. If you just go by the odds, the Bucs are not even seen as a playoff team in 2026.
DraftKings places the odds of the Bucs hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the non-dome SoFi Stadium at +4000. That puts the Bucs at No. 18 in the eyes of DraftKings.
Interestingly (maybe only to Joe), the last Bucs playoff game after the 2024 season was a 23-20 loss to Washington. The Commandos odds, per DraftKings, of winning it all a year from now is +6000, or No. 19.

9-10 win ceiling if you get good health, luck, bounces, etc. With a first round loss. And that’s if the division is lousy again.
The floor is lower but probably not Armageddon type of bad. Maybe 5 wins if those injuries and bounces don’t go our way.
Hard to see why Vegas would think any differently.

I have no hope for the season.

As long as Todd Bowles is coach, this team will go no where.

The 3 teams right above the Bucs are the Bears, Bengals and Cowboys while the 3 right below them are Washington, the Steelers and a tie between the Vikes and Colts: basically borderline 9 win wildcard teams. Falcons, Saints and Panthers are way down the board. It seems like the odds makers like the Bucs to win their division at 9-8 and then lose in the first round as is the norm as of late. That sound about right for Bowles and will probably keep him employed one more season as the skipper.

This plays into Baker having a bounce back season. It’s all about low expectations for Baker. We start the MVP chatter and somehow, he forgets how to be clutch. No chatter is a good thing.

What highly experienced and successful defense coaches has TB hired? Asking for a friend.
