Betting on Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2022-23 NFL Games

How did the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Perform in the 2021 Season?

The Buccaneers won the NFC South for the 4th time with a 13 (wins) – 4 (losses) – 0 (tied) record, enough to earn them second place in the National Football Conference (NFC). In the wild card playoffs, the Buccaneers comfortably beat Philadelphia Eagles 31 – 15, only to lose in the divisional playoffs to eventual winners the Los Angeles Rams 30 – 27.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Changes for 2022

A change at the top of the coaching roster for the Buccaneers as Todd Bowles is promoted from defensive coordinator to Head Coach.

Major outgoings include tight end O.J. Howard who is now playing for the Houston Texans. Safety Jordan Whitehead leaves and joins the New York Jets and guard Alex Cappa signs a new deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. All three players were 2020 Super Bowl champions with the Buccaneers.

Another Super Bowl champion with the Buccaneers is Chris Godwin and the wide receiver has re-signed on a three-year contract. The same situation applies to center Ryan Jensen, while the biggest news will be the retirement reversal of quarterback Tom Brady who becomes the oldest quarterback player in history to start an NFL game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Key Players

With his age now 45, Tom Brady will still need to prove he can perform at the highest level. Cornerback Jamel Dean will be expected to defend passes and make important interceptions while linebacker Devin White will have responsibilities to force fumbles, tackle and create sack opportunities. Four-time Pro-Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans will be responsible to gain yardage and make touchdowns.    

Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Betting on the NFL and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is easy and we are going to describe some of the betting opportunities available below.

Moneyline

This is simply a bet on which team will win the game. You can bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to have an outright win and it does not matter if they win by one point or thirty points, the moneyline bet would still be a success.

For example, the Buccaneers played at the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2021 season. The moneyline odds for the Eagles were 3.60 while the Buccaneers were priced as favourite at 1.33. A bet placed on the Buccaneers will have won as the game ended 28 – 22 in their favour.

Spread (Handicap Betting)

The moneyline odds were quite short for the Buccaneers to win against the Eagles. As an alternative, there is an option to make a spread bet.

The favourite for the game will be marked with a negative spread while the underdog will be marked with a positive spread. The spread is then applied to the final score to determine if the bet has won.

In our example, the Buccaneers were given a -6.5 point spread, while the Eagles received +6.5. The game ended 28 – 22 in favour of the Buccaneers. If you had bet on the Buccaneers then the bet will have been lost because this required a seven-point advantage. If you had bet on the Eagles then the bet has been won because they were not beaten by 7 points or more.

Total Points

This bet does exactly what it indicates except you do not need to guess the exact number. Instead, you bet over or under the given points total for both teams in a game. For example, in the wild-card playoff against the Eagles in January 2022 the total points line set was at 47.5. The game ended 31 – 15, which means that a total of 46 points were scored and a bet on under would have won.

Prop Wagers

You can choose from a huge number of prop bets involving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers team or its individual players. Here are some examples:

• Select a Buccaneer player to score a touchdown anytime during the game
• Over/under the total number of touchdown passes Tom Brady will make
• Predict the end result margin between the two teams
• Over/under the total number of touchdowns both teams will score
• Over/under the total number of touchdowns running back Chris Godwin will score

Prop bets can be made pre-game or live and there are likely to be many more available for every game that the Buccaneers play.
