Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting | 2009 NFl Betting Guide
The 2009 Tampa Bay Buccaneers move into the post Gruden era with new head coach Raheem Morris and new starting QB Byron Leftwich. The Bucs are hoping to rebuild quickly with a younger defense and a new scheme that say the Bucs fall to 19th in rush defense last year. The offense will feature a strong running game behind a talented offensive line that added Kellen Winslow at TE. A tough schedule could see the Bucs off to a slow start and testing the Bucs faithful.

2009 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offensive Outlook
The offensive line is young and talented led by Pro Bowl RB Davin Joseph. The Bucs may feature a RB by committee of RB Earnest Graham, Derrick Ward and Carnell Williams as all 3 talented backs have a history of injuries. QB Leftwich won the starting job in preseason leaving time for 1st rounder Josh Freeman to learn the offense. TE Kellen Winslow brings the x factor to offense that ranked 18th in scoring and was very conservative in play calling. Yet to see how the Bucs offensive philosophy will play out.
2009 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defensive Outlook
The Bucs defense took a big step back in 2008 ranking 17th in run defense. The Bucs are still thin on the DL against the run and franchise LB Derrick Brooks was let go in a youth movement. The new defensive scheme under new defensive coordinator Jim Bates will need some transition time. The defense faces 4 games against the tough NFC East in their first five games which could see theBucs get torched in all of them.

NFL Odds 2009 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Regular Season Wins
Over 6 Regular Season Wins -125
Under 6 Regular Season Wins -105
The NFL Future odds for 2009 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Regular Season Wins is Over 6 (-125) meaning that for every $125 bet will payout $100 if the Bucs win 7 or more regular season games. Early preseason betting action has been slightly more on the Over 6 wins. The Bucs could start the season 0-5 with a tough schedule and new coaching staff. If the Bucs cannot stop the run they could be in for a long season. The offense has the potential to be a top tier running game which will benefit the defense in time of possession. A lot of questions for the Bucs in 2009.
