The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2011 schedule begins pretty favorably for them with match-ups against old NFL Central foes in the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. It gets harder after that, however, with home games against the divisional rival Atlanta Falcons followed by a Monday Night Football game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2011 Schedule: Playing The Bears In London Could Be Troublesome
The most difficult game for the Bucs might be their Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears, though, considering the difficulties that can exist when playing a game halfway around the world in London.
If Tampa Bay is in the playoff hunt, that final week against the Falcons could be awfully important as well.
