Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds, Bet Types, & Team History

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the surprises last season — winning the NFC South and making it to the divisional round of the postseason. While the season didn't end in a Super Bowl, the Bucs exceeded all expectations and Mayfield renewed his career.

As a result of the surprise season, Mayfield signed a three-year, $115 million contract to stay with the Buccaneers. The Bucs have a real shot at being an NFC contender as they have retained most of their offensive firepower and some key defensive veterans such as Vita Vea, Lavonte David and two talented safeties Whitehead and Winfield Jr. on the back end.

Tampa Bay opens its season at home against the Commanders on Sept. 8. The Bucs have a win total over/under of 7.5, which isn’t great, but given the subpar nature of the NFC South, it's possible they can overachieve.

Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Point Spreads

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Falcons +5.5 (+110)
• Buccaneers -5.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Falcons are 5.5 point underdogs against the Buccaneers. If Tampa Bay wins the game by six or more points, a $100 wager on the Buccaneers would come with a payout of $90.91. If Atlanta won the game outright or lost by five points or fewer, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Over/Unders aka Bucs Totals

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Saints play the Buccaneers and the over/under is set at 50 points. A wager on the over would require New Orleans and Carolina to score 51 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 49 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 50 points scored.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Moneylines

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Panthers +200
• Buccaneers -240

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Tampa the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Buccaneers odds would mean every $24 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Panthers moneyline was set at +200, meaning a $10 wager would profit $20.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Buccaneers moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Tampa Bay would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Baker Mayfield passing yards: 3,650.5

In this example, a bettor will wager on whether Mayfield goes over or under 3,650.5 passing yards over the course of the regular season.
