The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8) and Carolina Panthers (2-14) meet Sunday for the Week 18 regular-season finale at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Panthers odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Buccaneers will be playing hard, as they need a win for an NFC South Division title. Tampa Bay was tripped up 23-13 at home against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17, yet it still controls its own destiny. That loss halted a 4-game win streak, and a 3-game cover streak. The Under has cashed in consecutive games for the Bucs.
The Panthers played the Bucs tough in Tampa in Week 13, falling 21-18 to cover a 3.5-point number with a late TD and 2-point conversion as the Over (37) was also flipped with the score. Carolina scored 30 points in its most recent home game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 on Christmas Eve, but it was shut out in Jacksonville last weekend, 26-0. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall.
