TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers arent spending a lot of time mulling over the prospects of earning a playoff berth for the first time in nearly a decade.The surest way to give themselves the best possible shot is to win their remaining two games, and thats all Jameis Winston and his teammates need to know.I love math, but I dont trust the percentages and the probabilities, the second-year quarterback said. I trust our heart, this teams heart, and what we need to do to find a way to get in there.The Bucs (8-6) play at New Orleans on Saturday, then close out the regular season at home against defending NFC champion Carolina on Jan.1.Tampa Bay, which trails first-place Atlanta (9-5) by one game in the NFC South standings, hasnt made the playoffs since 2007.Beating the Saints and Panthers wont absolutely guarantee a berth, however there are few potential scenarios that would eliminate the Bucs if they finish with 10 wins.Coach Dirk Koetter conceded that at this point in the season, its difficult to keep track of all the mathematical possibilities associated with a playoff race.Of course its out there, and we talked about it a little bit (Tuesday). But if we dont do what were supposed to do, then its just speculation, Koetter said. So we cant spend too much time. ... Weve got our hands full just worrying about the Saints this week. The rest of it is all just a bunch of math problems that are over my head.Last Sundays 26-20 loss at Dallas was Tampa Bays first in six weeks. It cost the Bucs a clear path to the second NFC wild-card spot, although they didnt have to wait long for some much-needed help with Washington (7-6-1) losing to Carolina to relinquish the inside track to a berth on Monday night.Winston is confident the team, which won five straight to climb into playoff contention after starting 3-5, has the mettle to bounce back and finish strong.He feels the team demonstrated that it has what it takes to get the job done by putting together a five-game winning streak -- Tampa Bays longest in 13 years -- to climb into contention after a 3-5 start.Just never giving up. Playing against tough teams and believing that we can do it, expecting to win, not hoping, the quarterback said.Not playing not to lose, but playing to win. Thats important because its a fine margin between a win and a loss, Winston added. You see it, inches really do determine the game that we play. So when you go out there expecting to win instead of hoping to win, its different.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Custom College Jerseys . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
