Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers Preview

The NFC South has been a pimple on the face of the NFL all season, and this game will be another firm reminder that this mediocre Bucs team could make the playoffs with a record below .500.

Fortunately, this game is anything but a given after the Panthers set new franchise records in rushing and total yards last week in their shock win over Detroit.

In comparison to the Bucs, scoring points hasn’t been a huge issue for the Panthers this season, particularly over the last month in wins over the Lions, Seahawks, and Broncos.

You could argue Carolina is the more in-form team heading into this game, especially after the Bucs failed to score a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter of their overtime win against Arizona.

It’s worth noting the line for this game has firmed from +7 into +3, so I think the bookies are wary of Carolina as they hope to keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
