NEW ORLEANS, LA – DECEMBER 24: Jameis Winston /

Surprise! The team that is gonna win the NFC South is none other than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last year’s finish of 9-7 was actually within reach of the first place Atlanta Falcons. The Bucs are ready to win the division for the first time since 2007.

The Bucs had some huge wins last year including the Falcons, Chiefs, and Seahawks just to name a few. In Addition, the Bucs almost beat the Cowboys in Dallas, losing only 26-20. Add that with one of the best rookies in the class TE O.J. Howard, and they are playoff ready NOW.

I can almost unequivocally say, that no one else will make this bold of a prediction. That being said, this prediction is really not that far fetched. The record of 12-4 is not gonna be easy. Look for the Buccaneers to win plenty of tight games this year. If the ball bounces their way the 12-4 record is more than possible. The Bucs just need a little luck.
