The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping to go from worst to first, something that used to be a mainstay of NFC South teams -- but the Bucs haven't managed to pull it off since 2007. Writing for ESPN, Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz gives the fourth-best chances in the NFL to from worst to first.
Football Outsiders gives the Bucs a 24.6% chance of making the playoffs, which isn't great, but isn't the worst either. The why is a lot more interesting than the exact odds, though, and Schatz point out that while it's easy to construct a scenario where everything goes right, it's a lot more likely that something eventually goes wrong.
