Buccaneers vs. Panthers Prediction:
I’ll take the Bucs to cover on the road here. I’m not ready to jump on the Panthers bandwagon just yet. The bye week may have been a season changer for the Bucs. They came out and took care of business against the Giants. Mike Evans got back on the field and immediately made an impact. Now they have momentum back on their side and they go up against another very poor opponent. The Panthers still boast the worst defense in the NFL allowing 31 ppg. The Bucs never scored less than 20 over their losing streak and that was with a depleted receiver room. They are also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. I’ll ride with Baker and the Bucs to get another big win.
