Have you been waiting for your Tampa Bay Buccaneers to return to the Super Bowl? - It’s been eighteen years since Jon Gruden led the Bucs to a rousing win over his former team, the then-Oakland Raiders, with Tampa Bay rolling to a 48-21 victory. Since then, Gruden has moved on to the broadcasting booth and is now coaching the Raiders once again.  Jazz Sports offers a generous welcome bonus (max bonus $1000).

The Buccaneers went through a long down period before bringing Bruce Arians in to coach. After a year with Arians coaching and Jameis Winston leading the offense, the Buccaneers opted to bring in Tom Brady via free agency, letting Winston go to New Orleans, where he may be the heir apparent to Drew Brees. Along with Brady came Rob Gronkowski and, later, Antonio Brown, to join a group of skill players that included Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Scotty Miller and Leonard Fournette. The Buccaneers did not win their division, but they did beat the team that did in the divisional round of the playoffs. Then they went to Green Bay and beat the Packers in the NFC Championship. After winning three road games, now they get to relax at home and await the Kansas City Chiefs.

Let’s look at some Super Bowl LV Prop Bets, courtesy of JAZZ Sports, you can play on the Tampa Bay side of the action.

Super Bowl LV Preview: Tampa Bay Prop Bets

Will Tampa Bay Score in Each Quarter? Yes +200 / No -310

It can be hard to score in each of the four quarters of a football game. What if Kansas City takes the opening kickoff, uses half the first quarter (or more) to launch a methodical drive down the field, and then the Buccaneers have to punt, only to have the Chiefs start another drive? That’s why the moneyline is skewed so far around to the “No” side.

Will Tampa Bay Convert a 4th Down? Yes -150 / No +105

Kansas City has a reputation for their aggressiveness on fourth down. In the Chiefs’ divisional round win over Cleveland, they became the first team since at least 1994 that had ever run a passing play on fourth down with the ball on their own side of the 50-yard line, with a lead, with 90 or fewer seconds remaining in the game. Chad Henne’s pass allowed the Chiefs to keep the ball and run out the clock. T

The Chiefs routinely go for it on fourth down; in the Super Bowl last year, they went for it twice in their win over San Francisco – and made it both times. Since Mahomes became the starting quarterback, Kansas City has converted fourth-down attempts five times in six games. However, Tampa Bay is much less aggressive on fourth down…but if you don’t think Arians will be more willing to roll the dice in a promising situation in a game that will make possessions valuable, then you don’t know Arians.

When will Tampa Bay Score More Points? 1st half +100 / 2nd half+OT -145

The money lines here make sense: defenses tend to get tired, and offenses tend to get more aggressive in the second half, as the end of the game gets closer and closer.

Some other props:

How will Tampa Bay score their first touchdown? Pass -195 / Other +135

What will Tampa Bay’s first score be? TD -220 / FG or Safety +150

How many first downs will Tampa Bay make? (O/U 25.5) Over -105 / Under -140

How many third downs will Tampa Bay convert? (O/U 5.5) Over +105 / Under -150

Will Tampa Bay win both halves of the game? Yes +225 / No -355

Will Tampa Bay score in both halves of the game? Yes -3750 / No +760
