There are going to be two types of Bucs fans this season, with half being bandwagon fans and the other half being really happy that they now have Tom Brady as their quarterback. Combine one of the greatest football players of all-time with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, and Brady’s favorite tight-end Rob Gronkowski, their offense will be dangerous. Whether or not their defense will carry their weight is yet to be determined, but here are the award predictions for the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season. 

The 23rd spot in my power rankings comes with the first major surprise. The Los Angeles Rams have endured quite the fall since they reached the Super Bowl in 2018. Since then, it seems that defenses have figured out Sean McVay’s gameplan and Jared Goff. Todd Gurley is now out the door and replaced with a bundle of other young backs vying for the starting role. The defense has lost valuable pieces as well. The Rams need to figure it out fast if they want to make the most out of this small window still left.

The Green Bay Packers came within one game of the Super Bowl last season in the first year for rookie head coach Matt Lafleur. A major reason for this was the team went 8-1 in one-score games and finished undefeated in divisional games. This allowed the Packers to earn a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs. Heading into next season, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will look to build off a season that saw his defense finish ninth overall in points allowed. Following the 2020 draft, the team will look to transform into a power running team following the selection of running back A.J. Dillion, a transformation from a Packers offense that is used to throwing the ball all over the field under past regimes.
