The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are -146 road favorites ahead of their crucial battle with the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.
Current Form:
The Buccaneers have now lost five of their last six games following last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, 28-29. As a result, Tampa Bay finds itself in a dogfight with Carolina for the NFC South title. Baker Mayfield passed for 277 yards with two touchdowns and one interception against Atlanta, but again, the Buccaneers’ defense failed to hold a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay ranks 24th in the NFL in points allowed per game (25.3).
The Panthers lost their last game to the New Orleans Saints, 20-17, but at least they have won 2 of their last 5 games to remain in the division title race. Quarterback Bryce Young passed for 163 yards with one TD and running back Rico Dowdle ran for 49 yards on 16 carries with one TD in a losing effort. Carolina is the 14th-best defensive team in the NFL, allowing opponents to average 22.6 points per game.

Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers Prediction
Forecast: Carolina is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games when playing at home against Tampa Bay, while Tampa Bay is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games. This is a tricky game to pick a winner, but I am leaning toward the home team to pull off the win. Carolina is 4-2 on their turf this season. The Buccaneers would not allow their postseason streak to end, but their defence hasn’t performed well in their last six games. Meanwhile, the Panthers showed they can take down elite-level squads when everything is going their way, as they shocked the LA Rams, 31-28, two weeks ago.
