Hard to tell....
As I understand it, right now the Bucs and the Falcons are 'even up', as both teams are 3-3. Then the Saints are 2-4. Then the lowly Panthers are 1-5. The NFC South is a little "down" this year. Of course, The Bucs, sporting Tom Brady's "swan song" year after UN-retiring, was not expected to be "all that." At least, my EARLY comments several months back thought they would have only a modicum of success this year. I am forced to stand by what I said of course, although there is still plenty of time for them to make a run into the playoffs...... where anything could happen with Brady at QB.
AS far as the rest of the year goes..... There are some question marks in the schedule following the second Atlanta game. After the Falcons games, there are five non-division opponents, and one game with the Bucs and one with the Saints. The five non-division teams stack up like this.....
W-L RECORD CURRENTLY (As of this week..).
Baltimore Ravens are .... 3-3
Seattle Seahawks are .... 3-3
Denver Broncos are ........ 2-4
Pittsburg Steelers are .....2-4
Detroit Lions are ............... 1-4 (Because of their BYE week..)
All of these games COULD be tough games. The Ravens and Steelers probably WILL BE tough games. I am NOT sold on Seattle. The Broncos could be tough, depending on how Seattle's QB plays. Detroit is a real question. Unknown... Right now, they are pushing the Panthers for last place.
So, looking at the schedule as reflected by CURRENT W-L records, there are some winnable games there. Of course, the Panthers would have to avoid under-performing like they have so far this year.
