Bucs 2020 Opponents Finalized: Rams Home, Giants Away - Buccaneers.com

The Buccaneers finished third in the NFC South after falling to 7-9 with Sunday's season-ending loss to Atlanta. Tampa Bay and Atlanta finished with identical records but the Falcons captured second place in the division thanks to a better record against NFC South foes. The Buccaneers thus get a home game against the third-place team in the NFC West – the Los Angeles Rams – and a visit to the Giants, who came in third in the NFC East. That produces the following opponent list for 2019:

  • Atlanta Falcons
  • Carolina Panthers
  • Green Bay Packers
  • Kansas City Chiefs
  • Los Angeles Chargers
  • Los Angeles Rams
  • Minnesota Vikings
  • New Orleans Saints
  • Atlanta Falcons
  • Carolina Panthers
  • Chicago Bears
  • Denver Broncos
  • Detroit Lions
  • Las Vegas Raiders
  • New Orleans Saints
  • New York Giants

Tampa Bay's 2020 schedule includes five games against 2019 playoff teams, including the home-and-away set with New Orleans. The Saints won the NFC South; the Buccaneers will also play the winners of the AFC West (Kansas City) and the NFC North (Green Bay) while taking on Wild Card entrant Minnesota. Half of the Buccaneers' 2020 home slate will be against reigning playoff teams (Chiefs, Packers, Saints and Vikings).

The Chargers and Chiefs will play in Tampa for the first time since 2012, which is how the eight-year, home-and-away rotation works with the AFC divisions. In that 2012 season, the Buccaneers beat both of those AFC West teams at Raymond James Stadium, and Tampa Bay happens to have a two-game winning streak against the Chargers and a five-game winning streak against the Chiefs.

Contrastingly, the Buccaneers and Giants will play for the fourth year in a row and the fifth time in a six-season span. The Giants have won four of the last five, including the Week Three game in 2019 in which a missed 32-yard field goal gave New York a 32-31 victory. Each of the last three games in the series has been decided by three points or fewer.
