Going by last year's records, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a middling schedule, per ESPN. That's not a very good measure, so it's not all that informative. More interesting is NFL Trade Rumors' approach of looking at each team's Vegas odds. That method gives the Bucs the fifth-toughest schedule, behind the Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams and Raiders.
Of course, looking at strength of schedule in February is relatively meaningless. Not only is last year's win percentage a poor indicator of the quality of this year's teams, free agency hasn't even started yet. Injuries, random drama and sudden drop-offs due to age or whatever other reason will occur, and they'll drive down that strength of schedule.
For reference, here's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014 schedule.
