The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled to stay in the playoffs, especially during their four-game losing streak leading up to the bye week. Since then, they have won two straight against the Giants and while the Falcons have lost three straight.
These two trends from the Bucs and Falcons have resulted in Tampa Bay's NFC South Division title chances greatly increasing.
and according to their prediction formula, they now favor the Bucs to win the division with a 50% chance versus 49% for the Falcons. To make the playoffs overall, ESPN gives Tampa Bay a 52% chance, while Atlanta has a 49% chance.
In Week 14, the Bucs face the 2-10 Las Vegas Raiders, while the Falcons play the 10-2 Minnesota Vikings. If the Bucs win while the Falcons lose, those numbers could lead to a big jump toward Tamp Bay.
The Bucs still have a long way to go in the NFC South and have plans to make some big moves in the NFC .
