Sept. 11 at Atlanta Falcons — Opening the season with a road game against a divisional opponent is not ideal, but a statement win here could carry the Bucs throughout the season.

Oct. 10 at Carolina Panthers — This is the most important road game on Tampa Bay’s schedule, and the Buccaneers will have to leave it all out on the field to upset the Panthers. The good news is that they will have a bye week after this one to recover.

Dec. 11 vs. New Orleans Saints — Sandwiched between two road games, the Bucs’ home battle with Drew Brees and Co. could be a trap game.

Nov. 27 vs. Seattle Seahawks — Tampa Bay could prove themselves with a win over the Seahawks in this home game against an expected playoff team. The Bucs will also play several expected bad teams before this game, so a win here could be a large amount of momentum.

Jan. 1 vs. Carolina Panthers — The Buccaneers’ home battle with the Panthers is a must-win game if they want to win the NFC South.
