ATS STATS Team Grading Report: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 12/04/25

Β 

⭐ ATS STATS – Team Grading Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($T.B.) β€” Market Grade: B | Market Sentiment: NEUTRAL (4 Days)


🏈 Team Overview

  • Record: 7–5
  • O/U Record: 6–6
  • Current ATS Streak: 4 ATS Losses
  • Last 7 Games: 3–4
  • DMVI: –5.7
  • Confidence Index: 33%
  • Market Sentiment: NEUTRAL (4 Days)
  • Current Game: vs New Orleans Saints (–8 / 42)
  • Next Game: vs Atlanta

This is the definition of a danger-zone B-team.
The Buccaneers have a strong enough offense to stay competitive, but their defensive inconsistency and failure to cover spreads create a very unreliable betting profile. The –5.7 DMVI confirms the market expects more from Tampa than they can deliver.


πŸ“Š 1. Market Value Index Breakdown

DMVI: –5.7

This range typically signals:

  • Books are pricing Tampa too high
  • Public perception is inflating spreads
  • ATS crashes follow (and we’re seeing that with the 4 ATS losses)

DMVI screams:
Overvalued favorite. Undervalued dog. High total volatility.

Neutral Sentiment (4 Days)

A brand-new Neutral cycle usually brings:

  • No clear market direction
  • Erratic ATS outcomes
  • Increased risk in favorite roles

And they’re currently –8 vs a division rival. Yikes.

Confidence Index: 33%

One of the lowest among B-teams.
Not a buy signal.


πŸ” 2. PVI–SOS System Trends (ATS STATS Exclusive)

Team-Specific Trend

Tampa as Home Team vs C-Type Opponent Coming Off SU Win:
No recent sample β†’ neutral.

League-Level Trend:

Any B-Type Home Team vs C-Type Opponent Coming Off SU Win:

  • SU: 4–2
  • ATS: 4–2
  • O/U: 2–4

This tells us two things:

  1. B-teams do win these games outright
  2. Totals lean Under
  3. ATS is positive, but Tampa-specific volatility weakens that signal

🧱 3. Situational Stats & Identity Breakdown

Home Favorite: 1–0

PF: 20 β€” PA: 17
Small sample, but competitive.

Home Underdog: 2–2

PF: 26.75 β€” PA: 26.25
High-scoring shootouts β€” no ATS reliability.

Road Favorite: 3–0

PF: 28 β€” PA: 19.33
Tampa actually thrives in the road favorite role, surprising but true.

Road Underdog: 1–3

PF: 17 β€” PA: 30.25
Terrible. They get exposed badly.

This is one of the clearest team-identity signals you’ll see:

Tampa cannot chase games. They fall apart when trailing on the road.


πŸ”₯ 4. Recent Performance Metrics

Span PF PA Interpretation
L3 19.67 31.67 Defense collapsing
L5 21 25.2 Offense average, defense still leaking
L7 20.57 24.14 Negative scoring margin
L10 23.6 26.2 Consistent shootout profile
L15 23.25 25.08 Long-term imbalance

The pattern:

βœ” Offense shows up
βœ– Defense disappears
βœ– ATS reliability collapses
βœ” Totals volatility spikes

Perfect example of a Neutral, high-variance team.


🧠 5. Top Tampa Trends

  • 3–9 O/U when home favorite Week 12–16 before a division game
  • 4–12 O/U when home favorite with 6 days rest after 2 Unders
  • 43–26 SU as home favorite with ≀2 Unders
  • 28–5 SU for any home favorite after a conference game with 6 days rest
  • 3–13 O/U before playing Carolina

Strongest takeaway:
Tampa’s December totals tend to crash Under, not over.


πŸ“˜ 6. Season Log Summary β€” Tampa’s True Story

Early Season:

Started hot with wins @ Atlanta, @ Houston, and vs Jets.
Defense looked stable.

Midseason Reality Check:

Losses to DET, SF, and NE exposed defensive holes.
The blowout loss to Buffalo (44–32) confirmed it.

Recent ATS collapse:

Losses to LA Rams, Arizona, and New England were all games where they were overvalued by the market.

This team no longer matches the numbers Vegas assigns them.


πŸ”₯ 7. Betting Value Assessment

Value Rating: β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†

Best Markets:

  • Unders in divisional/December games
  • ATS as road favorite (rare but profitable)
  • Avoid at home as large chalk (like this week)

Risk Level:

HIGH β€” due to volatility, poor ATS form, and mismatched pricing.


πŸ“ 8. Final Report Card

Category Grade Notes
Market Grade B Offense keeps them competitive
Cycle Strength C- Neutral + ATS losing streak
DMVI A- Great fade signals when overpriced
Situational Edges C Too inconsistent across roles
PVI–SOS Strength B Under trend strong
Betting Value C Selective only

⭐ Final Verdict: HOLD / FADE

Do NOT trust Tampa Bay as large favorites.
Their ATS crash, defensive instability, and inflated market pricing make them a high-risk proposition.

Best value is Unders and occasional road-favorite spots.
