TAMPA, Fla. -- When the NFL schedule came out Tuesday night, I picked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to go 8-8 in 2015.

Was I being generous? Perhaps. But I sincerely believe the Bucs will be much better than last year’s 2-14 record.

But it turns out I’m in the minority when it comes to our NFL Nation reporters. We all had to do game-by-game picks. Just out of curiosity, I decided to check what the other reporters picked for each week on Tampa Bay’s schedule. It turned out to be quite a surprise.

If you go by what the other NFL Nation reporters think, the Bucs are headed for an 0-16 season. Here’s a look at the weekly picks by the other side of NFL Nation.

Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 13, Tennessee at Tampa Bay, 4:25 p.m.

"A revamped Titans defense with Dick LeBeau calling the shots gives a rookie quarterback a difficult time. A less-than-stellar offense protects the ball well enough to win. Titans 20, Buccaneers 17." -- Paul Kuharsky

Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 20, Tampa Bay at New Orleans, 1 p.m. ET

"This could be the first NFL road start for Jameis Winston if the Bucs draft him first overall and hand him the keys. Hopefully for New Orleans’ sake, it goes better than when rookie Robert Griffin III came into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and smoked them in the 2012 season opener. Saints 30, Buccaneers 17." -- Mike Triplett

Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 27, Houston at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.

"They have the first pick in the draft and many expect them to take a quarterback. This early in the season, any rookie attempting that position will be working through some early struggles and the Texans' hot start will continue. Texans 17, Buccaneers 10." -- Tania Ganguli

Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 4, Carolina at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.

"The Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twice last season with backup Derek Anderson at quarterback. Barring fractured ribs or another car accident, Cam Newton should be under center. Panthers 24, Bucs 12." -- David Newton

Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 11, Jacksonville at Tampa Bay, 1 PM

"The Buccaneers will have a rookie quarterback -- almost certainly Jameis Winston -- and he’ll face a Jaguars pass rush that finished sixth in the NFL in sacks (45) in 2014 and is expected to add an elite pass rusher with the No. 3 pick in the draft. That’s a great matchup for the Jaguars. Jaguars 27, Buccaneers 7." -- Mike DiRocco

Week 6: Bye

Week 7: Sunday, Oct. 25, Tampa Bay at Washington, 1 p.m.

"No season is complete without a game vs. the Buccaneers. This time they’ll likely have a rookie quarterback starting (Jameis Winston) so that should be enjoyable. Winston has a lot to offer, but an improved pass rush will force rookie errors." Redskins 21, Bucs 14. -- John Keim

Week 8: Sunday, Nov. 1, Tampa Bay at Atlanta, 1 p.m.

"One again, the Falcons could be up against a rookie quarterback with the Buccaneers possibly on track to draft Jameis Winston out of Florida State. Atlanta should be on top of what the Bucs are doing offensively considering Tampa Bay's new offensive coordinator is Dirk Koetter, who was with the Falcons last year. (Watch for the wide receiver screens to Mike Evans.) New Falcons pass-rusher Adrian Clayborn should be a little more motivated going up against the team that drafted him. Falcons 24, Buccaneers 17." -- Vaughn McClure

Week 9: Sunday, Nov. 8, New York Giants at Tampa Bay, 4:05 p.m.

"The last time the Giants played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was Week 2 of 2012, when Eli Manning set a career high with 510 passing yards and Hakeem Nicks was the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. The last time the Giants played in Tampa Bay was Sept. 27, 2009, when they beat the Bucs 24-0. That was the Giants' last shutout. They won't shut out Jameis Winston & Co., but they should handle them in spite of the back-to-back road games." Giants 31, Buccaneers 10. -- Dan Graziano

Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 15 Dallas at Tampa Bay 1 p.m.

"Will the Cowboys get to see Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota? Probably Winston. They will get to see ex-teammates Bruce Carter, Henry Melton and Sterling Moore, who signed with the Bucs as free agents. Cowboys 34, Buccaneers 20." -- Todd Archer

Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 22, Tampa Bay at Philadelphia, 1 p.m.

"This should be the most sure thing on the Eagles’ schedule. Unless Jameis Winston sets the league on fire as a rookie, that is. Eagles 28, Buccaneers 13." -- Phil Sheridan

Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 29, Tampa Bay at Indianapolis, 1 p.m. ET

"Quarterback Jameis Winston, the likely No. 1 overall pick, faces Luck for the first time. Veteran linebacker Robert Mathis makes it a long afternoon for Winston by staying in his face all game. Colts 30, Buccaneers 14." -- Mike Wells

Week 13: Sunday, Dec. 6, Atlanta at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.

"The Bucs might be improved from the Week 8 meeting but chances are they'll still have a rookie at quarterback. The Falcons just can't have a relapse to 2013, when they went to Raymond James Stadium and got dominated, 41-28. Falcons 24, Bucs 10." -- Vaughn McClure

Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 13, New Orleans at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. ET

"Another candidate for one of those unexpected road losses if the weather is sloppy or the Saints don’t show up (they’ve had a few of each at Tampa Bay over the years). But I’ll pick a victory here as the Buccaneers should still be a team going through some growing pains. It will be interesting to see how much Winston (or Mariota) has matured by this point. Saints 24, Buccaneers 16." -- Mike Triplett

Week 15: Thursday, Dec. 17, Tampa Bay at St. Louis, 8:25 p.m. ET

"In what could be the Rams' final home game in St. Louis, the Buccaneers come to town with Jameis Winston leading the way in a prime-time game that doesn't figure to move the needle much nationally. It should get some attention in St. Louis, though, as the Rams put themselves in position to battle for a wild card in the final two weeks. Rams 34, Buccaneers 20." -- Nick Wagoner

Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 27, Chicago at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m.

"Doesn’t matter if Jameis Winston or Josh McCown is the quarterback -- the Bucs aren’t expected to be very good. Lovie Smith falls to 0-2 vs. his old team. Bears 27, Bucs 14." -- Jeff Dickerson

Week 17: Sunday, Jan. 3, Tampa Bay at Carolina, 1 p.m.

"This will be the first time since 2009 that the Panthers have finished the regular season at home. They've won their last three regular-season finales on the road, so there's no reason to think they won't win this one against a rebuilding Buccaneers team. Panthers 23, Bucs 10." -- David Newton
