| Jon Gruden has a bunch of quarterbacks. But does he have the one? Jeff Garcia played well last season. Can he do it again at age 38? |

| They surprised a lot of people by winning the division this season. They have to hope they can get another good year out of Jeff Garcia to have a chance to do it again. They need more playmakers on offense. |

| This is a team that isn't getting much due, but watch out in the playoffs. They have the right ingredients. |
| 12/25/2007 | 9 | 9 |
| That loss against the 49ers came in part because they rested players. This is a tough, physical team. |
| 12/18/2007 | 9 | 11 |
| This is a team to keep an eye on come playoff time. They have a defense that is really playing well. With Jeff Garcia back, the offense is in good hands. |
| 12/11/2007 | 11 | 7 |
| They need to get Jeff Garcia back as fast as possible. They still have a firm grasp of the division and will likely play host to a first-week playoff game. |

| Look who's moving up the rankings. The Bucs are playing really good football and have pretty much clinched the NFC South. |
| 11/27/2007 | 7 | 8 |
| They can put a firm grip on the division if they can win at New Orleans this week. This is one of the biggest surprise teams in the league. |
| 11/20/2007 | 8 | 11 |
| They have a two-game lead in the division with six to go. That's a great coaching job by Jon Gruden. I thought they'd win six games tops. |
| 11/13/2007 | 11 | 11 |
| They come off the bye in first place and they have to be happy about their spot. As the young players get better, this team will be tougher to beat. |
