1 DAY AGO - Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Dealing through injury, the Bucs get a big divisional win while Mike Evans continues to add to his Hall of Fame resume It wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got to 5-7 on the season and 2-1 in the division with a 21-18 win over the Carolina Panthers. It was a sloppy, ugly win in the midst of a torrential downpour while the Bucs were down to one inside linebacker. However, there was a huge bright spot in the game - Mike Evans. Let’s Pick Six. Six Topics Suitable For Conversation 1.) Mike Evans Is A Hall Of Famer. There’s no more room for questioning, doubt, or indifference. Mike Evans is a Hall of Fame wide receiver. Not only that, but he’s deserving of the rare honor of being a first ballot Hall of Fame wide receiver. No one has started a career with more consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. Only one person has more 1,000 yard seasons in their career and that same person has the record for consecutive Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Perry Knotts/Getty Images Lines are set for next week’s matchup. The Buccaneers got back on the winning side of things after beating the Carolina Panthers Sunday. Things were interesting through the first half as ran poured down and both teams weren’t able to do anything at all offensively, but Tampa Bay pulled it out at the end. The Buccaneers now find themselves at 5-7 while luckily still being in the hunt for a division title in a very poor NFC South. They currently sit a game back from the Falcons — their next opponent. Tampa Bay will be traveling to Atlanta in Week 14. The Bucs will try to tie things up atop the division and our friends over at DraftKings are making them underdogs early on. This still after the Falcons struggled to get by the New York Jets on Sunday. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bucs are 2.5-point underdogs against Atlanta.

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images In this series, we’ll break down different scenarios that could, should, and will happen before the Tampa Bay Bucs get a chance to play them out. Welcome to week 13. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have four wins and they will be facing a one win team. This is set to be Bryce Young’s first matchup against his division rival to the south. Young’s season has been somewhere in between disappointing and concerning. The Panthers are on their second head coach of 2023 and their fourth since the beginning of 2022 (yikes). The Buccaneers have little right to look down on anybody having won just one single game, since their bye week. Todd Bowles’ seat is as hot as the sun and a loss this week against a team in total disarray, could be enough to set the team’s fan base ablaze. All that and is true and yet this matchup may still be packing some playoff implications. The Bucs are just a game out of first, with tiebreakers likely to be relevant, come season’s Collapse
