Panthers vs. Buccaneers: NFL Week 17 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)
Panthers vs. Buccaneers
The Panthers’ game plan against the Lions was great, and it was executed to perfection. They controlled the clock by rushing for 320 yards and making enough defensive stops to prevent the Lions from getting back into the game. The Panthers are still alive to win the NFC South because of it.
This week, they will take on Tom Brady and the Bucs, who were lucky to escape Christmas night with a victory. Tampa has played poorly of late, losing three of their last five and needing double-digit comebacks to beat the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals.
The Christmas night game against the Cardinals was a very public outing. Because of that, expect bettors to back the impressive Panthers in this one and drop the line below the key number.
Current Line: Buccaneers -3
Predicted Final Line: Buccaneers -2
