4* Free Week 17 NFL Betting Prediction: Tampa Bay ATS
At the start of the season, no one could have predicted that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be fighting for the NFC South title in week 17 vs the Panthers. But with a win, Carolina has a chance to move into a tie with Tom Brady and the Bucs. Given that they already have a win over Tampa Bay this season, the Panthers would hold the tie-breaker should they finish in a tie. However, I see the Buccaneers taking care of business at home. With a point spread sitting at -3 in favor of Tampa Bay, I recommend taking them to cover.
