00:00it would be baker mayfield and his buccaneers tampa last year drs 10 and 7 did lose to those

00:06commanders in the wild card round the opening playoff game 23 20 you see the odds this year

00:12even money favorites to win the nfc south for a fifth straight season 13 to 1 to win the nfc

00:1928 to 1 to win the super bowl let's start first with the nfc south we had talked about this

00:25division last week the falcons might try to challenge the panthers could be better in

00:31bryce young's third year we're not expecting much out of the new orleans saints who matched

00:35the cleveland browns for the technical worst win total in the nfl but in the nfc south you don't

00:41need 13 wins to claim the division you might just need nine or ten donnie do we agree that the

00:47buccaneers should be the favorites to win a fifth consecutive nfc south crown oh no question about

00:53no question because i mean you you do lose your offensive coordinator which you've done now for

00:57almost like consecutive years it feels like canalis goes up to carolina and now you see obviously moving

01:02on liam cohen to jacksonville and it's like well where do we fit in here well he's just trust baker

01:06mayfield that's used to that structural change but not a change in offensive philosophy so gonna have

01:11mike evans there so gonna have godwin you drafted bucca here you have rashad white in the backfield

01:15also bucky urban was fantastic last year for that team you look at the defense it's really sound

01:20across the board and todd bowles is your head coach who's one of the best defensive coordinators

01:23in football why not like when we talk about sometimes entering in do we love the buccaneers

01:28not necessarily but there's a lot less question marks on the buccaneers than any other team in that

01:33division ben yeah no doubt about it drs i would bet that price of plus 100 for the buccaneers to win

01:39the nfc south i am not confident the falcons are even going to be a winning football team i am not

01:45confident the panthers can really challenge although they might be a thorn in the side and the buccaneers

01:50should handle business once again baker mayfield last year drs just a sensational season his second

01:57full year in tampa and he was lights out 4500 passing yards third most in the nfl 41 touchdowns

02:03one of three quarterbacks along with joe burrow and lamar jackson to throw for at least 40 touchdowns

02:0916 ints but north of a 71 completion percentage he had the fourth best passer rating of any

02:16quarterback that started more than four games last year he was incredible you could say though now

02:22it's his third consecutive season with a new offensive coordinator dave canalis leaves two years ago

02:28liam cohen left came back and then left to be the new head man in duval county josh grizzard i believe

02:35is how you pronounce his last name i hope it is not grizzard grizzard is the new oc in tampa he was

02:41the team's passing game coordinator and big grids has been earning accolades and praise from this

02:48buccaneers coaching staff this season again there is some continuity although grizzard was not the

02:54offensive coordinator a season ago i do not expect to see a drop-off and even if there is differing from

03:01those outstanding numbers a season ago i like the bucks defense i like the bucks talent tampa wins

03:07the division drs and probably goes over their win total of nine and a half finishing at 10 and seven

03:12at bare minimum i would say once again exactly if baker mayfield's healthy he's got three really good

03:18wide receivers that's all you can ask for in a capable running game he should be able to excel

03:21once again we took a look at their again 41 touchdown passes there exactly what you want to see in a

03:26playoff team also understand this they will be tested early their first two games are both on

03:31the road at the atlanta falcons and then at the houston texans two tough spots to play why atlanta's

03:37going to be really filled michael pennix second season here under the helm a talented team that

03:41finally brought in some defensive capabilities on the offensive line that's going to be a loud

03:45environment and then you go to houston where the expectations once again are high with cj strout and

03:49a healthy capable offense with a really good defense here let's see how they make it through

03:54because they'll get the jets at home in week number three we're not saying the jets are going

03:57to be a bad team but yay justin fields is there new head coach getting a new foundation if somehow

04:02they can start two and one before they take on the philadelphia eagles at home that's a really good

04:07start for them but that's a tough start yeah at atlanta at houston the jets at home eagles and then you

04:11go up to the pacific northwest to take on seattle which i don't care what type of seattle that's a tough

04:16environment that team obviously in early october the fans are still going to be involved up there

04:20regardless if they're winning or losing tough start to the schedule here for them
