Buccaneers 2015 schedule is almost finalized

The 2014 NFL season is nearly over, which means we can start talking about 2015. And that includes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' future opponents, most of whom we know already, because the NFL uses a simple formula to determine each year's schedule. The only question marks for the Bucs are whether they'll face the 6-8 St. Louis Rams or the 7-7 San Francisco 49ers as their NFC West fourth-place opponent, and whether they'll face the 5-9 Chicago Bears or 6-8 Minnesota Vikings as their NFC North opponent.

So, via FB Schedules, here's the Bucs' 2015 schedule.

Buccaneers 2015 opponents
Home		Away
	Dallas Cowboys		@ Philadelphia Eagles
	New York Giants		@ Washington
	Jacksonville Jaguars		@ Houston Texans
	Tennesee Titans		@ Indianapolis Colts
	Atlanta Falcons		@ Atlanta Falcons
	Carolina Panthers		Carolina Panthers
	New Orleans Saints		New Orleans Saints
	Fourth place NFC North		Fourth place NFC West

Turns out the Bucs don't have a very difficult schedule, at first glance at least, but team quality can change rapidly year-to-year. The NFC South was awful this year, but each one of those teams could easily bounce back. And while the AFC South isn't great, each of those teams has some puzzle pieces and could be much better with a solid offseason.
