Fans of this podcast know Todd accurately predicted all eight NFL Division winners in 2024. While openly admitting there was no chance he could duplicate the feat again in 2025, Todd still offered everyone another podcast here months ago with eight more NFL Division winners. Well, someone here in Florida legally played those in an 8-Bet Parlay at +66788 Odds. And Hard Rock Bet just waved the white flag with three weeks left in the regular season.  The Todd Wright TODDcast is presented by Heads and Tails and Brandon Legal Group.

PRESENTED BY

Bucs OC defends center.

Joe gets this question from time to time from readers and Bucs fans offline. [read more]

Bucs OC Josh Grizzard.

With Mike Evans looking like the Hall of Famer he will be and Jalen McMillan showing he may have improved from last year and Devin Culp making an impact last Thursday night, Joe thought the offense looked the best it’s been since the Bucs beat Seattle on the road in October. [read more]

New hat and T-shirt coming.

So let it be written, so let it be done. The Bucs will win the NFC South for the fifth-straight season and make a playoff appearance for a sixth-straight year. [read more]

Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. [read more]

Red Zone troubles.

Well, this isn’t good. [read more]

So Sunday marks the first truly high-stakes Panthers home game in December since the 2018 season.

Tied with the Bucs atop the NFC South, Carolina (7-7) has reached a potentially pivotal moment in its franchise history. [read more]

Flash poll posted at 1:26 p.m. Poll closed at 2:39 p.m.

Yesterday, Joe asked Todd Bowles if he’s had any fun in the past week looking back on his profanity-laced postgame rant that went viral and will live on, Joe suspects, for decades.

Did players needle him? Did he get any fun texts? [read more]

Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie.

Joe is hesitant to type about 2026 because we’re still in 2025 and the Bucs are in the thick of a playoff hunt.

But given the source for this connect-the-dots speculation, Joe believes it has credibility. [read more]

Rookie cornerback Jacob Parrish is not alone.

Joe expects more from the Buccaneers rookies. [read more]

Tight end Devin Culp.

One reason Joe was stoked that Bucs tight end Devin Culp caught a touchdown pass down the hashmarks last week was that it proved something. [read more]

Joe keeps hearing nonsense on radio and on social media about how the Bucs must sweep the Panthers to reach the playoffs. [read more]

Mike Evans

The cavalry arrived! Too bad they didn’t have enough of the right kind of ammunition. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Look, Joe has no idea how many bad apples are in the Bucs’ locker room. Joe has a few suspects, but that’s all it is. [read more]

Shady, but helps Bucs.

When Joe looked at the how the Bucs could win two of the three remaining games of the regular season to get in the playoffs, Joe had pretty much banked on the Bucs-Dolphins game next week in Miami as an L for the pewter pirates. [read more]

First start coming?

Unless Bucs coach Todd Bowles does some juggling to his secondary — given how his defense has played the past six weeks, he may want to think about it — it appears rookie Benjamin Morrison will get the first start of his NFL career Sunday when the Bucs face the Stinking Panthers. [read more]

Mike Evans said he played “OK.”

We all (Joe assumes) saw the video of Mike Evans crashing out at the end of Thursday night’s gutless loss, hollering “Third and 28!” [read more]

Injury-free? Finally?

Health will not be a major excuse if the Buccaneers can’t beat the stumbling Panthers on Sunday afternoon. [read more]

Baker Mayfield

Sort of a roundabout and somewhat strange answer by Baker Mayfied today to a question about head coach Todd Bowles. [read more]
