With five games left, Bucs NFC's second seed
That's right: If the season ended today, the Bucs would be the second seed in the NFC courtesy of Carolina's loss at Atlanta today.
The 10-1 Giants currently own the top spot in the NFC, but after that, the 8-3 Bucs would be No. 2 by virtue of their head-to-head win over the Panthers. Can you say "first-round bye"?
Of course, we're getting ahead of ourselves. The Bucs visit Carolina next month, and the Bucs still have three division games remaining. But it's certainly interesting to consider what could happen if things fall into place for Tampa Bay.
The next three weeks are pretty much going to decide things: home against New Orleans, at Carolina and at Atlanta.
Hold on to your seats.
