Because whats this year is this year. We could be sweeping bucs two straight seasons and it has never been done by any rival in this division three straight. Atlanta has gotten us once every other year. Carolina has this on their schedule

Home games
Chicago
Detroit
Pittsburgh
Cleveland
Seattle/SF
I don't think they go 5-0 here, if they get Seattle they lose. If they get SF they win. Detroit is good enough to win there as is Chicago. Pittsburgh has had their number.

Road
Green Bay
Minnesota
Baltimore
Cincinatti
Philadelphia/Dallas

Dallas has owned them. Philadelphia likely will not lose unless they revert back to 2012. And they will not go 2-0 at GB/Minnesota or Bal/Cin.

Carolina I see losing to packers, steelers, bengals, seahawks, and eagles OOD. They would beat SF as an alternate but still lose to Dallas. Basically 6-4 or 5-5 OOD at best and still possibilities of losing a home game to Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, or at Minnesota. Also its the bucs turn to sweep if that trend continues. And Atlanta will not get swept again if Carolina pulls it off tomorrow. Basically thats at best 2-2 or 1-3 against those two carrying an at best of 8-6, 7-7, or 6-8. They fall short either way by beating us once. They're having their given strong year but they are unproven as well. When Carolina sees that they may not be as good next year as this year it will affect even their division games.
