Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting
My, what a difference a year makes. One year ago, Tom Brady had a lot of fans and gamblers scratching their heads. Why did Brady choose the sad-sack Tampa Bay Buccaneers over many other “better” teams as his landing spot? Well, now we know why. Brady saw what nobody else could. Tampa Bay was a talented but undeveloped club. All they needed was a championship quarterback that could teach them how to win. The Brady Bunch peaked at the perfect time with road playoff wins at the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers. Tampa Bay’s 31-9 Super Bowl win was worse than the final score indicated. The better team prevailed. And what scares many NFL officials and fans is that the Bucs will be even better in 2021.

Head coach Bruce Arians is one of the few individuals in history to escape the Arizona Cardinals organization with a winning record. Arians retired with a .614 win percentage but returned after one season off to take over the Buccaneers. He went 7-9 in his first season with interception machine Jameis Winston as his quarterback. Last year he and Brady proved to be a dynamic team. Arians was a long-time NFL and college football offensive assistant and coordinator. He was NFL Coach of the Year in 2012 and 2014.
Whatever is said about Tom Brady, it is never enough. The GOAT of quarterbacks has seven Super Bowl championships, five Super Bowl MVP awards, three NFL MVP awards, and 14 Pro Bowl nominations. Most importantly, Brady brought the intangible element of confidence and how to be a champion to the Bucs.
One of the reasons that Brady chose the Bucs was a strong receiver corps of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Antonio Brown. And tight end Cameron Brate worked well with veteran Rob Gronkowski.
Lost in the noise, but on full display in their domination of the Chiefs, is a strong Tampa Bay defense. The Bucs ranked 6th overall in the NFL. Linebacker Devin White totaled nine sacks and 18 tackles for loss. While linebacker Jason Pierre Paul added 9.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss.

Tampa Bay won the second Super Bowl championship in its history last February. It was the first playoff season for the Buccaneers since 2007. Since their founding in 1976, when they went 0-14, the Bucs have been one of the worst franchises in the NFL. At least until Tom Brady walked into camp.
