The Carolina Panthers face a must win situation in Tampa Bay on Sunday, Dec. 2. Suddenly at 6-5, the Panthers can’t afford to lose yet another game and hope to make the playoffs. The Buccaneers would like nothing more than to make sure Cam Newton’s team stays home during the post-season. Check out the latest NFL odds and analysis for Panthers at Bucs!
Tampa Bay’s played much better in their last couple of games. Although they lost 35-38 to the New York Giants, they pushed against the spread. Then, in Week 12, they beat San Francisco 27-9.
The key in the win was quarterback Jameis Winston not turning the ball over. When Tampa doesn’t turn the ball over, their defense can do more things, which allows the Bucs to play a more complete game. Tampa’s a different squad then the one the Panthers dominated in early November. They can not only cover, but they can also beat Cam Newton’s team straight up.

Panthers vs Buccaneers Final Betting Analysis
Carolina appears to be the better team, but Tampa’s looked more consistent in their last couple of games. The Buccaneers might have finally discovered how to win a complete game in their battle with San Francisco. Tampa quarterback Jameis Winston truly played within himself. He completed over 76% of his passes, threw 2 touchdowns and didn’t throw an interception. Carolina’s played defense with smoke and mirrors for most of the season. The Bucs are the play against the spread. NFL Week 13 Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5MyBookie NFL
