在休賽期，坦帕灣海盜和愛國者隊氛圍明顯不同。但是FPI認為這兩個團隊之間並沒有太大區別，儘管FPI確實將坦帕灣作為進入2020年的兩個球隊中的佼佼者，但Bucs和Pats在該模型的排名中分別排在第8位和第9位。
對於Bucs 進入季後賽的機會來說這是一個小優勢。 坦帕灣有63％的機會進入季後賽，而FPI預測新英格蘭有60％的機會
換句話說，布雷迪的離開損害了FPI對愛國者隊的看法，愛國者隊去年排名第四
布雷迪的第七枚戒指呢？ 坦帕灣有4％的機會贏得超級杯，而愛國者隊有3％的機會。 儘管Bucs是合理的競爭者，但這是自從ESPN於2015年開始執行這預測，布雷迪領導的團隊做出的最糟糕的季前預測。
There is a 0.5% chance the Patriots play the Bucs in the Super Bowl.
