Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds, Moneylines, Spreads and Futures Markets
Tampa Bay was 6-2 halfway through last season. Then it fell apart. The Bucs lost seven of their final nine, finished 8-9, and watched Carolina take the NFC South on a three-team tiebreaker.
That collapse isn't the only reason expectations have cooled. Mike Evans is gone, and Lavonte David has retired. Baker Mayfield returns after throwing for 3,693 yards and 26 touchdowns, with 938-yard rookie Emeka Egbuka now leading the receiving group. First-round pick Rueben Bain Jr. was brought in to help a defense that gave up 24.2 points per game.
There's still enough here to compete for the division. Tampa Bay Buccaneers' odds just aren't treating that as the same thing as competing with the NFL's best.
The wider NFL odds make that distinction pretty clear.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds This Week
Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds this week start with a tough trip to Cincinnati on Sept. 13. The Bucs are +3.5 (-105) at FanDuel and +176 to win outright. The total is 51.5. Tampa doesn't have to beat Joe Burrow and the Bengals to cover that spread, but the half-point beyond a field goal is doing some work here.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds to Win Super Bowl 61
+5000 tells the story pretty quickly. Tampa isn't in the group of sportsbooks expected to seriously challenge for Super Bowl LXI. At that price, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' odds to win the Super Bowl work out to a raw implied probability of about 2%.
That's longshot territory when compared with the teams sitting near the top of the current Super Bowl odds market.
| Sportsbook | Super Bowl LXI |
|---|---|
| FanDuel | +5000 |
Tampa has at least been perfect once it gets there. The franchise is 2-0 in Super Bowls, beating Oakland 48-21 after the 2002 season and Kansas City 31-9 in Super Bowl LV after the 2020 season. Getting a third shot is the hard part at this price.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds to Make Playoffs
Getting back isn't the favorite at FanDuel. Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds to make the playoffs are +140, compared with -166 to miss. That skepticism makes more sense beside the rest of the NFL playoff odds. Tampa doesn't need to become an NFC powerhouse, though. Winning this division would be enough.
| Sportsbook | Make Playoffs | Miss Playoffs |
|---|---|---|
| FanDuel | +140 | -166 |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds to Win Division
Here's the strange part. Tampa Bay missed the playoffs, lost Evans and David, and is still the favorite to win the NFC South.
FanDuel has Tampa at +190. New Orleans, Carolina, and Atlanta are all close enough that nobody owns this market in August. That's important context for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' odds of winning the division. Being the favorite sounds stronger than +190 actually is.
Check the current NFC South odds, and even a relatively small difference between books can change the value.
| Sportsbook | NFC South |
|---|---|
| FanDuel | +190 |
Tampa last won the division in 2024. That was its fourth straight NFC South crown and 10th division championship overall.

More Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Markets
Futures can sit unchanged for days. Game lines won't. Tampa Bay Buccaneers betting odds will move with injuries, results, and the money coming into each market once the season starts.
That's where shopping around matters more. The best NFL betting sites and NFL betting apps won't always agree on Tampa's spread or moneyline. If one book has +3 and another has +3.5, the difference isn't cosmetic. Three is one of the NFL's key margins.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Moneylines
Tampa doesn't have to cover anything on the Week 1 moneyline. Beat Cincinnati and a +176 ticket wins. Lose by one or lose by 20, and it doesn't.
That's really all a moneyline is. A $100 bet at +176 pays $176 in profit, so $276 comes back in total if the Bucs pull off the upset. Compare that with Tampa +3.5. The spread gives you some protection if Cincinnati wins a close game. The moneyline pays more because it doesn't.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Spreads
That 0.5 in Tampa +3.5 is the interesting part. A three-point Bengals win still cashes a Bucs spread ticket. At +3, the same score would only return the original stake.
Tampa can also win outright and cover, of course. At the current -105 price, $100 on +3.5 would yield $95.24 in profit, for a total return of $195.24. A four-point Cincinnati win is where the bet falls short.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Totals (Over/Under)
Say Tampa loses 28-24 in Cincinnati. Bad day for the Bucs, good day for anyone holding Over 51.5. Those 52 combined points are enough to cash the Over regardless of who wins.
FanDuel has that Week 1 total at 51.5 with -110 on either side. Put $100 on the Over, and a winning ticket makes $90.91, for $190.91 back in total. Totals are simply about combined points, and the .5 means 51 points loses while 52 wins. No push to worry about.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Props
Tampa has several players who make more sense to judge individually than through the final score. Baker Mayfield's passing yards are one example. Bucky Irving's rushing attempts are another. Then there's Emeka Egbuka, whose receiving markets could be especially interesting without Mike Evans around.
Egbuka is especially interesting after catching 63 passes for 938 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. Evans is no longer taking targets, but defenses also know who's first in the pecking order now.
Weekly books will offer things like Egbuka receptions, Irving rushing yards, and Mayfield passing touchdowns. Mayfield is also available in season-long awards markets alongside the rest of the NFL MVP odds. That's a much bigger ask than clearing a weekly passing number.
If Egbuka were +150 to score a touchdown, a $100 bet would yield $150 in profit and return $250 total. His role is what would make that number worth checking. Six touchdowns as a rookie is useful history, but Evans leaving changes the competition for targets around him.
A bonus shouldn't turn a bad prop price into a good bet, either. Current NFL betting promos are separate from whether +150 is actually a fair number on Egbuka.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction Markets
Kalshi offers another way to take a position on Tampa's season. Its playoff market currently prices a Bucs Yes contract at around 43 cents, representing roughly a 43% market-implied chance of Tampa reaching the postseason.
Buy 100 contracts at $0.43, and the position costs $43 before fees. If Tampa makes it, those contracts resolve at $1 each. That's $100 returned and $57 in gross profit before fees.
The question is almost identical to the sportsbook playoff market. The pricing system isn't. That's what makes it useful to put the Kalshi number alongside Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, rather than treating prediction markets as just another sportsbook.
