Buccaneers playoff picture Tampa Bays up

The Buccaneers have lost two consecutive games to fall to 6-8 for the 2022 NFL season. They are also 1-3 in their past four and 3-6 since Week 6.Still, Tampa Bay remains in first place in the NFC South, the NFL's weakest division. It has been rough month in particular for Tom Brady. The Buccaneers blew a late lead against Browns in Week 12 and blew a big lead to the Bengals in Week 15, two unprecedented collapses for a team quarterbacked by the GOAT.In between, Brady saved the Buccaneers from near-certain defeat in New Orleans in Week 13 and Kawhi Leonard Jersey suffered a 35-7 rout in a San Francisco homecoming in Week 14.MORE:With how they're playing on offense and defense, the Buccaneers don't profile as a playoff team. But they are still the favorites to get in as a No. 4 seed and host a playoff game, likely against the Cowboys.The Buccaneers could have gained a game on both the Panthers and Falcons, who also lost on Sunday. Instead, with the Saints beating the Falcons, there's a three-way tie for both Wesley Johnson Jersey second place and last place in the South. All three teams are one game behind the Buccaneers at 5-9.Here's breaking down how the Bucs stack up against them:Buccaneers vs. Panthers in NFC South raceThe Buccaneers and Panthers both "control their own destiny." Tampa Bay will win the division by winning at Arizona, vs. Carolina and at Atlanta in the final three games. Carolina will win the division by winning vs. Detroit, at Tampa Bay and at New Orleans.If Louis Williams Jersey the Buccaneers finish 9-8, the Panthers, Saints and Falcons don't have enough games to catch them. But if the Buccaneers and Panthers finish 8-9, the Panthers would win the division. Carolina would have earned season sweeps of Tampa Bay and New Orleans plus a split with Atlanta, giving it an unbeatable 5-1 division record in a tiebreaker scenario.MORE:Buccaneers vs. Saints in NFC South raceThe Buccaneers beat the Saints in Weeks 2 and 13, so they have the head-to-head tiebreaker there. The Saints need to finish one game better than the Buccaneers to win the division.Before closing the season at home vs. Carolina, New Orleans has a pair of tough road games: at Cleveland in Week 16 and at Philadelphia in Week 17. The Saints have likely blown too many games, like Week 13 at the Buccaneers, to rally late and win the division.Buccaneers vs. Falcons in NFC South raceThe Buccaneers beat the Falcons at home in Week 5 to hold the head-to-head tiebreaker ahead of their Week 18 rematch in Atlanta. The Falcons have been swept by the Saints and split with the Panthers.Before the Falcons face the Buccaneers again to finish the season, they have a tough road game at the Ravens in Week 16 and a home date with the Cardinals in Rodney McGruder Jersey Week 17.MORE:Buccaneers NFC South predictionBrady couldn't mi s the playoffs in his third season with the Buccaneers, could he? That's definitely po sible now, but it's not probable.The Buccaneers have the most favorable schedule of all four teams and still have a one-game lead with three left to play. They could easily see their lead increase to two games after Week 16, meaning they would just need to beat the Desmond Ridder's Falcons or Sam Darnold's Panthers in one of the final two games.Consider: The winning QBs vs. Brady this season include Kenny Pickett, P.J. Walker, Jacoby Bri sett and Brock Purdy. Brady will be starting Paul George Jersey vs in Week 16. There's an 80 percent chance Brady will be in the playoffs one more time with the Buccaneers, but it keeps feeling as if will also be the last time.
