With 1 game to go, Bucs could either win the division or finish in last place

🎙️ Discussion

If my math is correct, depending on the outcomes of tomorrow night's game, and the two divisional games next week, the Bucs could technically finish in any place in the division:

First: Bucs beat the Panthers next week to clinch the division

Second: Bucs lose to Panthers and Falcons lose out

Third: Bucs lose to Panthers, Falcons lose to Rams then beat the Saints

Last: Bucs lose to Panthers, Falcons beat the Rams then lose to Saints

In the last scenario, Bucs, Falcons and Saints would be in a 3-way tie at 7-10, but Saints would have the best divisional record of the three and Falcons would have a better conference record than the Bucs, so I believe they would end up in last place in the division via tie breaking procedures. It's very unlikely Falcons beat the Rams then lose to the Saints, but it's a Bucs life.
