Week 13 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Panthers

The Bucs are big favorites against the 1-10 Panthers for this Sunday’s game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing their first NFC South rival since Week 7 on Sunday, and it’s a game they have to win.

The Bucs are set to play the Carolina Panthers for Week 13, and Tampa Bay miraculously remains just one game back from the NFC South lead. A win over the Panthers would be big to maintain that gap if the team has any hopes for competing for the division title after losing six of its last seven matchups.

Here is how experts and pundits from numerous publications and websites see the matchup between Tampa Bay and Carolina going:

Bucs Wire staff picks for Week 13 against the Panthers

Here is how we see Sunday’s game going for Tampa Bay:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need a win, and they need it soon. So what better opportunity than the 1-10 Carolina Panthers?

No win comes easy in the NFL, but the Panthers are fresh off firing their head coach in Frank Reich and have the current worst record in the league. The Bucs are on a losing skid, dropping six of their last seven, and this game should be a crucial one given that it is an NFC South rival and the Bucs are just one game back from the division lead.

Bucs Wire staff picks for Week 12 against the Colts

Our staff feels confident in Tampa Bay’s chances this Sunday against the Colts.

It may be an AFC team, but that doesn’t make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday any less important.

The Bucs remain in the thick of the NFC South race (somehow), back just one game from the first place New Orleans Saints and tied with the Atlanta Falcons at 4-6. The Indianapolis Colts, too, still have meaningful football to play for, just two games back from the AFC South lead themselves. If Tampa Bay can take this victory, it’ll come within striking distance of the division title once again.

Week 11 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs at 49ers

The experts overwhelmingly favor the 49ers here, but unlike Tampa Bay’s matchup against the Bills in Week 8, the picks aren’t unanimous:

It’s any given Sunday in the NFL, but the picks here aren’t exactly unexpected.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to face off against the San Francisco 49ers on the road in California, and it’s arguably their toughest task yet heading into the year. The 49ers remain one of the best teams in the NFL despite coming off a three-game losing streak, but they dismantled one of the best teams in the AFC in the Jaguars in Week 10. The Bucs defeated the Tennessee Titans in Week 10 after a losing streak of their own, but this opponent could well be insurmountable.

Here is how experts and pundits from all over see this game going (spoiler alert — they’re pretty much in agreeance).

Week 10 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Titans

Despite what happened in Week 9, experts are favoring the Bucs in this matchup.

Experts aren’t deterred after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a tough loss to the Houston Texans during Week 9.

The Bucs put in an all-time worst defensive performance and gave up five touchdowns, but the Tennessee Titans — who are also 3-5 — have problems of their own. They’re set to bring out quarterback Will Levis as their starter for the rest of the year, and head coach Todd Bowles will have to make sure he doesn’t get burned by a rookie this week like his defense did last week when it came to quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Here is how experts and pundits see this game going on Sunday:

Bucs Wire staff picks for Week 10 against the Titans

Here’s how we predicted Tampa Bay’s Sunday matchup against the Tennessee Titans will go:

From here on out, every game is a “must-win” game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

That may sound silly, but the Bucs are 3-5 and in the midst of a four game slide, and a team that once had playoff aspirations and a division lead is now sinking when it’s supposed to swim. The Tennessee Titans, too, are 3-5, but they bring a new rookie quarterback to fold in Will Levis. If the Bucs win this game, they move to 4-5 and maintain a thread of hope in a dreadful NFC South — lose, and they’ll be 3-6 with the next game on the road against the San Francisco 49ers.

Here’s how we see a potentially massive game on Tampa Bay’s slate going on Sunday:

The Georgia Bulldogs have been an NFL factory the last two seasons with 25 players drafted during this stretch. They are once again loaded with NFL-caliber talent and have several players listed in the top 100 draft big board on Tankathon. Georgia’s star tight end Brock Bowers is the top ranked Bulldog on the list.

Week 9 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs at Texans

This is the closest expert picks we’ve had all year, with the favored team winning by a single vote.

Expert and pundit picks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 9 game against the Houston Texans are in, and goodness, is it a close one.

Both teams have the same record and are coming after losses, and both need to get in the win column again fast if they want to stay competitive in their respective divisions. The Bucsw will rally behind quarterback Baker Mayfield and the experience he brings into his home state of Texas, while the Texans will rally behind Qb C.J. Stroud in what has been an impressive rookie campaign to this point.

Week 8 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs at Bills

To say the Bills are widely favored in this one is perhaps an understatement.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were held in high regard after a dominant performance against the New Orleans Saints had them 3-1, but things have certainly changed since then.

The Bucs have lost two games in a row and are looking to avoid a third loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. And while the Bucs were universally picked to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, the tune of experts and pundits has changed after Tampa Bay lost that game 16-13 at home.

Here is how they all picked Thursday night’s matchup against the Bills to go — and to the dismay of Bucs fans, they all seem to be in agreement:

Week 7 picks: Who experts and pundits are taking in Bucs vs. Falcons

Experts overwhelmingly favor the Bucs in their Week 7 matchup.

In a rare instance for the 2023 season so far, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into a game as overwhelming expert favorites.

The Bucs are set to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and pundits and experts are overwhelmingly picking them to win. This goes against betting odds, as Tampa Bay is only favored by 2.5 points at home against the Falcons, but many are confident in the Bucs’ ability to beat the Falcons and move ahead in the NFC South. Should Tampa Bay win, they’ll create a gap in the division that will be tough for any contenders to jump.
