Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Panthers vs. Buccaneers

Can the Panthers cover the spread?

Each week, we at All Panthers will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Carolina Panther games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: Buccaneers -4.5

2 Star play on the Buccaneers covering (-4.5): Despite having nothing to play for, the Panthers are going to roll out Bryce Young behind an atrocious offensive line. It's a major gamble and one that I don't fully understand. Tampa can take the NFC South crown with a win and I'd be shocked if they didn't take control of this game early so they can potentially get their starters out of the game by the fourth quarter.

Over/Under: 37.5

1 Star play on the under: Carolina has had a hard time scoring the ball this season, obviously. After last week's shutout, it goes to show the 30-point outburst against Green Bay was an anomaly. This has the feeling of another one-sided affair where the Panthers struggle to get on the board.

My picks this season:

ATS: 5-11 (31%)

O/U: 8-8 (50%)

Overall: 13-19 (41%)
