4* Free Week 18 NFL Betting Prediction: Carolina +5.5
The Bucs narrowly defeated the Panthers 21-18 at Raymond James in DEC, with the Panthers covering a 3.5-point spread.
Tampa Bay has dominated of late, winning 6 of 7, covering the spread five times. The Bucs have won 7 of the last 10 against the Panthers.
Having said that, Carolina’s secondary did a good job limiting Jacksonville’s passing game in their previous game. Despite being 5.5-point underdogs at home, I’m confident in their ability to cover against Tampa Bay.
It’s the last game of their season, and surely their owner throwing his drink at fans has motivated the Panthers for this one. (See what I did there? LOL) Seriously though.
The Panthers will cover. It’s Week 18.
The Bucs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 against an opponent in the NFC South.
If you’re looking for a pick on the over/under, the data we have suggests this game finishing below 37.5 points.
For this game, my money is on the under.
