Carolina Panthers (1-10) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7)
The NFL betting action continues with Week 13 matchups. Sunday brings 11 games around the league, including the NFC South showdown at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with the kick-off at 4:05 PM ET, so here’s the best Panthers vs. Buccaneers pick.
Carolina meets Tampa Bay for the first time in 2023, and the Panthers are 1-5 SU and ATS in their last six dates with the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is a 5.5-point home fave at the moment, while the total sits at 37.0 points.

It feels like nobody told the Carolina Panthers (1-10; 2-8-1 ATS) that they don’t have a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Since a 15-13 home win against the Houston Texans in Week 8, the Panthers have lost four games in a row while scoring 13 or fewer points in each of those four tilts.
Last Sunday, the Panthers failed to cover a 3.5-point spread in a 17-10 defeat at the Tennessee Titans, who didn’t score in the second half. Carolina was down 17-3 at halftime, and Chuba Hubbard’s five-yard TD run with 8:02 remaining in the third quarter was the last we saw from the Panthers and Titans.
“We lost a close football game today,” Carolina first-year coach Frank Reich said. &# x201C;These games are winnable. That message doesn’t fly when you’re 1-10 but I know these games are winnable, I know we have the players and the coaches to do that so we regroup and get ready for this week.”
Reich won’t get ready for Week 13. He was fired on Monday morning, and Chris Tabor, who’s been the special teams coordinator since 2022, was named as interim head coach.
The Panthers will try to turn the corner, but things look pretty bad, especially on the offensive side of the ball. They haven’t gained more than 275 total yards in four straight outings, and Bryce Young has thrown for 675 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions during that stretch while completing just 57.6 percent of his passing attempts.
