The Buccaneers are 1-7-1 against the spread in their last nine home games. Carolina has cranked up the running game over the last three games, putting up 188 yards a game. They will be facing a Tampa defense that is 21st against the run. The Panthers have covered four straight division games. The Bucs have needed late rallies to win as of late and if they have played better teams they would have lost. Carolina is 3-1 since Sam Darnold has taken over under center. I am looking for the Carolina defense to put pressure on Brady and the offense to move the ball on the ground, taking pressure off Donald to throw the ball. This will be a close game and like the Panthers to take this one but will take the points.

Play on Carolina.
