Bet Buccaneers vs. Panthers Odds
Game Preview:
The Bucs started off the 2010 season by beating the Browns in come-from-behind fashion last weekend. They forced a couple of huge turnovers in the contest to help them earn the victory.
Speaking of turnovers, Panthers’ QB Matt Moore threw three interceptions in a brutal loss to the Giants in Week 1. He also suffered a mild concussion in the defeat, although he’s expected to play in Week 2. If he struggles again though, the rookie Jimmy Clausen could see his first NFL action.
Line Movement & Updated Odds:
The line was slow to open for this game, likely because of Matt Moore’s playing status. But the game opened at Panthers –3.5 and hasn’t moved off that number. Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made Carolina a 3.5-point favorite, while the over/under is currently 39.
