Odds Shark: Bet the Panthers with the points vs Buccaneers
Ethan Diamandas writes: "Tampa Bay holds home-field advantage and enters as the favorite, but troubling trends suggest Carolina can cover this number. Miami torched them for 217 yards on three consecutive drives in Week 17, while Mayfield's three giveaways proved costly. Young already demonstrated he can execute in Tampa with a composed performance two weeks ago, and Carolina's defensive foundation should keep this game tight enough for the Panthers to cover three points."

Sportsnaut: Panthers 27, Buccaneers 20
Matt Johnson writes: "It is the battle for the NFC South crown, with the winner hosting a playoff game and the loser’s season coming to an end in Week 18. Just two weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers emerged victorious at home (23–20) over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Bryce Young outplaying Baker Mayfield and winning despite losing the time-of-possession battle (34:36 to 25:24). Even on the road, we have more confidence in Young and the Panthers’ coaching staff than we do in the Buccaneers."
