The match image becomes clearer for Bucs

Seven games left in the Bucs’ 2021 regular season against Tampa Bay, now 8-3, ending a big game, Win 38-31 in Indianapolis. The Bucs are at the top of the NFC South table with a three-game game.

Tampa Bay, which travels to Atlanta on Sunday, is currently seeded third in the NFC playoffs. The Bucs still have a shot with the No. 1 seed, which comes with a first-round goodbye and home advantage in the knockout stages, but will need the help of a loss or two from the Cardinals.

Here is a look at current context in NFC along with the remaining schedule of each team.

CURRENT NFC DETECTION GROUPS

SAME NO. 1: Cardinal (9-2)

The rest: at the Bears, vs. Rams, Lions, vs. Colts, at the Cowboys, vs. Seahawks
If Arizona wins, they will win a bye in the first round and home advantage in the NFC knockout round. That could be a tall order with games against the Rams, Colts and Cowboys looming.

VARIETIES #2: Packers (9-3)

Remaining: BYE, vs. Bears, at Ravens, vs. Browns, vs. Vikings, at Lions
How does Aaron Rodgers’ broken toe continue to stretch? After a week off to heal, Rodgers and the Pack have a couple of challenging games in Baltimore and go against the Browns and Vikings in the long run.

SEED #3: Buccaneers (8-3)

The Bucs can win – and will probably need a hit at home advantage in NFC. But they will also need Cardinals to stumble at least once. Tampa Bay may be winning along the way, but home games against the Bills and Saints will be a challenge.

SEED #4: Cowboys (7-4)

Left: at Saints, at WFT, at Giants, at WFT, versus Cardinals, at Eagles
Dallas is reeling from a Las Vegas loss to Las Vegas on Thanksgiving and needs to recover on the road in New Orleans on Thursday night. The NFC East division is not a swashbuckler, but those teams have always played tough against each other. Philly, Washington and New York can’t be overlooked, and the game against Arizona will be crucial in locating the NFC playoffs.

SAME NO. 5: Rams (7-4)

Left: versus Jaguars, at Cardinals, versus Seahawks, at Vikings, at Ravens, versus 49ers
The Rams have fallen short, losing their last three games, including a pair against NFC playoff contenders in the 49ers and Packers. LA has a tough trio of games ahead in Arizona, in Minnesota and in Baltimore in the coming weeks, followed by a home final against the rising 49ers.

SEED number 6: 49ers (6-5)

Left: at Seahawks, at Bengals, versus Falcons, at Titans, versus Texans, at Rams
The 49ers have won 4 of the last 5 matches, including the last 3. A wild card landing looks like the best thing that can happen for San Francisco after a pair of losses to the leading Arizona. The big games came in Cincinnati, Tennessee and in Los Angeles against the Rams to close out the season.

SAME NUMBER 7: WFT (5-6)

Left: at Raiders, versus Cowboys, at Eagles, at Cowboys, versus Eagles, at Giants
An upset win over the Bucs set up a three-game winning streak for the Soccer Team. A pairing against Dallas and Philadelphia, plus a season finale in New York against the Giants will determine not only a potential playoff spot for Washington but also the winning team of the NFC East.

TOP NFC PARTICIPANTS

Vikings (5-6)

Remaining: at Lions, vs. Steelers, at the Bears, vs. Rams, at the Packers, vs. Bears
Minnesota has three undefeated games against Detroit and Chicago twice. That gets the Vikings eight wins, which probably won’t be enough for a wild card slot. The Vikings will need to win those games and win against the better team in the Steelers, Rams or Packers, which seems unlikely.

Falcon (5-6)

Remaining: vs Bucs, at Panthers, at 49ers, vs. Lions, at Bills, vs. Saints
Atlanta is 1-4 at home this year, which is good news for Tampa Bay, the team visiting this Sunday. If the Falcons, who are winning 4-4 ​​in their last eight games, are going to make a playoff, turning the Bucs upside down in the ATL is a must-do this week. Atlanta could finish 8-9 or 9-8 if that happens.

Saint (5-6)

The rest: versus the Cowboys, at the Jets, at the Bucs, versus the Dolphins, versus the Panthers, at the Falcons
Taysom Hill will replace Trevor Siemian in midfield as the Saints face a must-win game against the Cowboys on Thursday night. After that, tough games at Tampa Bay and home against Miami are on the charts. A big win over the Cowboys could set the result 9-8 or 10-7. A loss could continue the downward spiral of the Saints, who have lost four games in a row.

Eagle (5-7)

The rest: at Jets, BYE, vs. WFT, vs. Giants, at WFT, vs. Cowboys
Philly is a skating team with no rhyme or reason for them to win or lose. The 13-7 loss in New York to the Giants last week was terrible. The Eagles returned to the crime scene this week to play the Jets, who had just won, before saying goodbye to the week. Philadelphia pretty much had to run to make it to the knockout stages, which is almost impossible.

Panthers (5-7)

Remaining: BYE, vs. Falcons, at Bills, vs. Bucs, at Saints, at Bucs
Carolina has a bye week and a tough schedule ahead with two games against Tampa Bay, one at Buffalo and one at New Orleans. Cam Newton is not the answer at QB, and neither is Sam Darnold, who is struggling to return from a shoulder injury. With Christian McCaffrey absent for the rest of the season, the Panthers may not win again this season.
