    USA TODAY Sports predicts losing record, no playoffs for Bucs in 2024

    The highly anticipated USA TODAY Sports predictions for the 2024 NFL season are officially out, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans will have plenty to talk about.

    This year’s projections from USAT have the Bucs with a losing record at 8-9, finishing behind the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, and missing the playoffs for the first time in five years.

    Doubts from national outlets aren’t unfamiliar to Tampa Bay fans, considering most expected them to be one of the worst teams in the league last year, only for them to win the NFC South for the third year in a row.

    After bringing back all of their key free agents this offseason, don’t be surprised if the Bucs silence the doubters yet again, and end up hanging a division title banner for a fourth straight year.
