Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (6-9) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-8) meet for a Week 17 matchup Sunday. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium is set for 1 p.m. (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers are alive for the NFC South title, controlling their own destiny. A win in Tampa is obviously imperative, and with a loss Carolina is eliminated from postseason contention.

Carolina stunned the visiting Detroit Lions last week at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, winning 37-23 as 2.5-point underdogs. The Panthers are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 games, including a 21-3 win over the Bucs in Week 7 as a 13-point underdog.

Tampa Bay is just 3-4 straight up (SU) this season at home, while going 0-6-1 against the spread (ATS). In fact, the Buccaneers have failed to cover the last 5 games overall, while going just 1-11-1 ATS in the last 13 games.

Panthers at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 21, Panthers 18

Moneyline

This is going to be a super tight game. The Panthers have been pesky since interim coach Steve Wilks took the reins of the team, and one of his 5 victories came against these Bucs. When the Buccaneers were at -170 it was playable if you wanted to forget about fiddling around with the points. But with the line up to -190, look to the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

This game could very well come down to a field to decide a winner so take BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-112), because I really and truly believe Tampa Bay will win by exactly 3 points.

Over/Under

UNDER 40.5 (-107) is the way to go in this ultra-important NFC South battle.

We saw a total of 24 points in the first meeting in Charlotte, an easy Under play, and the Under is 8-3 in the last 11 NFC South Division battles for the Panthers.

For the Bucs, the Under is 4-0 in the last 4 inside the division, while going 13-3 in the last 16 against teams with a losing record, and 11-4 in the last 15 games overall.

Detroit Lions at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Detroit Lions at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Lions (7-7) travel to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers (5-9) Saturday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Lions are on a 6-game winning streak and chasing a playoff berth in the NFC. They beat the Jets 20-17 last Sunday as 2.5-point underdogs. QB Jared Goff has led a high-octane offense sparked by RBs Jamaal Williams and D’Andre Swift and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Since moving back to Sam Darnold at QB, the Panthers have been playing better. They lost 24-16 to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week as 2.5-point favorites at home. While coach Steve Wilks has the team playing hard, the Lions are hungry and their offense can overmatch many defenses. The Panthers defense will have trouble containing the weapons Detroit can throw at them and this could lead to a lopsided game.

Lions at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 30, Panthers 17

Moneyline

PASS.

Detroit’s -140 price is a satisfactory number for the Lions. Especially in a parlay. But the Lions will cover the spread so I would rather make a play there and save the juice.

Against the spread

BET LIONS -2.5 (-118).

Even if you do not feel the Lions will blow out the Panthers, getting the Lions at under an FG is excellent value.

The Lions are the better team and even if the bad weather comes as expected, the run game of Williams and Swift can carry the Lions to this victory. Williams leads the NFL with 14 rushing TDs and while the Panthers defense is okay, it’s not great. The Detroit offensive line has been stellar so far and the Lions will score 1 way or another.

Over/Under

BET OVER 43.5 (-110).

Detroit games are 9-5 to the Over this season while the Panthers are 6-8 to the Over. I expect the Lions to control the pace of this game and this means a lot of possessions and a lot of points should be in store. Many of the games have lower totals this weekend because of weather concerns. But this game should not be among them and the number is too low. OVER 43.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE PLAY.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-8) are set to face the Carolina Panthers (5-8) on Sunday in Week 15 at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Steelers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Steelers lost to a Baltimore Ravens team without QB Lamar Jackson 16-14 in Week 14 as they failed to cover as 1.5-point favorites at home. Despite the loss last week, Pittsburgh has won 2 of its last 3 games.

The Panthers secured a 30-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14 to cover as 3.5-point underdogs. Carolina has won 3 of its last 4 games entering Sunday’s matchup against Pittsburgh.

Steelers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 20, Panthers 16

Moneyline

Even with the uncertainty at the quarterback position, STEELERS (+130) is an intriguing wager in this contest. While QB Sam Darnold has been solid since returning for the Panthers, the defense of the Steelers could make things difficult for him on Sunday.

Against the spread

STEELERS +3 (-116) is where I’m going considering that I have them winning outright in Week 15. The Steelers have won each of the last 4 meetings against the Panthers.

The Steelers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against the Panthers.

Over/Under

Given the struggles that both of these offenses have and with how well these defenses have played, UNDER 37.5 (-111) is the ideal choice in this game. The Steelers could have either QB Mitch Trubisky or QB Mason Rudolph starting Sunday.

The Panthers have hit the Under in 5 of their last 6 games against a team with a losing record. Meanwhile, the Steelers have hit the Under in 3 of their last 5 games.

The Denver Broncos (3-7) meet the Carolina Panthers (3-8) for a Week 12 battle at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Broncos vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Broncos were dropped 22-16 in overtime at home by the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11, and have lost 6 of their last 7 games while going 3-7 ATS overall. The Under has cashed in 6 straight games, and 9 of the 10 games this season, the fewest Overs in the NFL.

The Panthers are coming off a 13-3 loss at the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, and have won just 2 of their last 8 games. However, Carolina is 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games overall. QB Sam Darnold returns to the starting lineup, and will be the 3rd different quarterback to start in the past 3 games for the Panthers.

Broncos at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 19, Broncos 15

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (+100) at even money are a strong play in Darnold’s return to the starting lineup.

The Broncos have dropped all 4 of their true road outings this season, going 1-3 ATS. The Panthers are a respectable 3-3 SU at home this season, including victories in each of the past 2 as an underdog.

Against the spread

Playing Panthers +1.5 (-112) doesn’t make as much sense if you like them to win. Take the money line and don’t pay any juice, unless you strongly believe the Broncos are going to win by exactly one point.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 36.5 (-108) is worth playing in this AFC-NFC battle between 2 of the lowest-scoring teams in the league.

The Panthers are good for just 286.1 total yards per game to rank 31st in the NFL and post 18.8 PPG to rank 25th.

The Broncos have allowed just 17.1 PPG to rank 2nd in the NFL, while they are dead-last in the NFL with just 14.7 PPG on offense.

Carolina Panthers at Baltimore Ravens odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Baltimore Ravens odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (3-7) meet the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) for a Week 11 battle at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Ravens odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers picked up the 25-15 win in the rain against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football last week and have had a couple of extra days to prepare. Carolina turns back to QB Baker Mayfield to start, as QB P.J. Walker, who had started the past 5 games, is out with a high-ankle sprain.

The Ravens have won a season-high 3 games in a row, and come in rested after a bye in Week 10. Baltimore has also covered consecutive games for the first time all season.

QB Lamar Jackson is under the weather with a non-COVID illness, and listed as questionable, while TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) also has the questionable tag. Both are expected to play.

Panthers at Ravens picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 27, Panthers 16

Moneyline

The Ravens (-700) have had a full 2 weeks to prepare for this game after a bye last week, and it will be ready with or without Jackson. Should QB Tyler Huntley be thrust into a starting role, Baltimore will still be able to roll here.

PASS.

Against the spread

Playing PANTHERS +13 (-112) is a good play, as Mayfield is familiar enough with the Ravens -13 (-108) defense and playing conditions in Baltimore to fare OK.

Carolina has been a double-digit underdog twice before, losing 24-10 on the road against the L.A. Rams, while winning 21-3 outright as a 13-point ‘dog at home against Tampa Bay. It has proven to be competitive in recent weeks, going 3-1 ATS in the past 4 games overall, and the Panthers have played hard for interim head coach Steve Wilks.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-108) is the lean here, but only ever so slightly.

Carolina has had extra time to prepare for Baltimore here, last playing on Thursday in Week 10, and the Ravens have had a full 2 weeks to rest and prepare for the Panthers.

We’ll see both of these offenses at their best, but that still won’t mean a slam-dunk Over result and track meet. Defense will still rule the day, but we should flirt with the mid-40’s.

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Falcons (4-5) visit the Carolina Panthers (2-7) for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff in the Week 10 Thursday Night Football game (Prime Video). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Falcons vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Falcons won a wild 37-34 win in overtime at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against the Panthers in Week 8, but failed to cover as 4.5-point favorites. It was unable to carry over the momentum, losing 20-17 at home to the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend.

Carolina QB PJ Walker hit WR D.J. Moore on a Hail Mary to tie the Falcons 34-34, pending the point after. But Moore took off his helmet in celebration, the Panthers were flagged 15 yards and PK Eddy Pineiro missed the PAT sending the game to OT. Pineiro also missed a game-winning field goal in OT, but the Falcons didn’t.

Falcons at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Falcons 19, Panthers 13

Moneyline

FALCONS (-140) is not a terrible play as moderate favorites, especially since the Panthers (+117) limp in with injuries at some key areas.

Even if the likes of Burns, Jackson and/or Luvu are able to push through injuries to play on defense, Atlanta is still the play.

Against the spread

Play FALCONS -2.5 (-120) is a little on the risky side, simply because the Panthers +2.5 (+100) easily could have won in Atlanta in Week 8.

In addition, RB D’Onta Foreman went over 100 yards with 3 TDs against the Falcons, so that will be an area of focus for the Atlanta defense. It must do better. Carolina has had questions at quarterback all season, and it looked to have temporarily answered those questions with Walker’s solid showing in Atlanta. However, he was brutal in a loss in Cincinnati last week, and Baker Mayfield came on. A quarterback turnstile is not good for consistency, and Atlanta’s situation is much more stable.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-105) is the play here, and might be the best on the board.

Atlanta and Carolina combined for 71 total points in Week 8, and that’s unlikely to occur outdoors, especially with the potential early effects of Tropical Storm Nicole affecting the entire Southeastern United States.

The forecast for the greater Charlotte area calls for a 100 percent chance of rain for Thursday night, with winds gusting 10-20 mph. That will keep the offenses mostly ground-based, and running runs the clock, which Under bettors love.

Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (2-6) are on the road in Week 9 to face the Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) on Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers lost 37-34 in overtime to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8, but covered as 4.5-points underdogs. RB D’Onta Foreman has 236 rushing yards and 3 TDs in the last 2 games following the trade of RB Christian McCaffrey.

The Bengals were blown out 32-13 by the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 as they failed to cover as 3-point favorites on the road. Cincinnati will be without WR Ja’Marr Chase for a 2nd straight game, which limits the offense’s ability to create big plays in the passing game.

Panthers at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 24, Panthers 20

Moneyline

Given the massive odds in favor of the Bengals, I’ll PASS on betting on the moneyline in this game. Taking Cincinnati to win at home will net you nearly nothing in return, so it isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

PANTHERS +7.5 (-117) is where I’ll be going in this game with the struggles that Cincinnati’s offense could have with Chase sidelined. Meanwhile, Carolina has been much more competitive with coach Steve Wilks following the firing of Matt Rhule.

The Panthers have covered the spread in 2 straight games and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings against the Bengals.

Over/Under

Give me OVER 42.5 (-110) as I believe these teams can hit the low total despite the struggles from both offenses we’ve seen at times this season. The Bengals have enough weapons in WR Tee Higgins, WR Tyler Boyd, and RB Joe Mixon to score a decent number of points on Sunday.

The Over is 4-0 in Carolina’s last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record.

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (2-5) and Atlanta Falcons (3-4) play a Week 8 game Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Falcons odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers picked up a stunning 21-3 home win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, covering as 13-point underdogs. It snapped an 0-3 SU/ATS skid. Carolina hits the road for the 3rd time this season, going 0-2 SU/ATS so far away from Bank of America Stadium.

The Falcons have won just 3 games outright, but last week’s non-cover in a 35-17 loss at the Cincinnati Begansl as 6.5-point underdogs was their 1st after opening the season 6-0 ATS. The Over result in Week 7 snapped a 3-0 run to the Under, too.

Panthers at Falcons picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 23, Falcons 20

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (+175) are a value play in Sunday’s trip to meet the Falcons.

Carolina is coming off an impressive and shocking win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last time out. Interim coach Steve Wilks picked up his 1st win of the season, using a combination of running and defense to get the job done.

While Hubbard is out for Carolina, journeyman RB D’Onta Foreman went over 100 yards last week, and can more than do the job. The road team has won 4 in a row, and 6 of the past 7, in this series.

Against the spread

The PANTHERS +4.5 (-115) is quite a big number considering these teams aren’t that much different.

All of the trends for Carolina look ugly, including its 4-10 ATS mark in the past 14 trips to Atlanta, and its 2-7 ATS record in the previous 9 overall in the series. But again, the road team dominates, going 4-0 ATS in the past four meetings, and the underdog has cashed in 4 in a row.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-105) is lean, but only go with a half-unit or lower here, as confidence is not terribly high.

The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 divisional games for Carolina and is 5-1 in its last 6 overall.

While the Under is 6-2 in Atlanta’s past 8 home games, the Over has hit in 7 of its last 10 inside the division, including its only divisional home game to date in Week 1 against New Orleans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3) are set to face the Carolina Panthers (1-5) on Sunday in Week 7 at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers suffered a surprising 20-18 loss in Week 6 at the Pittsburgh Steelers as 10-point favorites. Tampa Bay will lean on RB Leonard Fournette as he’s totaled 575 scrimmage yards and 4 total touchdowns in the first 6 weeks of the season.

The Panthers are on a 3-game losing skid. They’ve lost by a combined score of 87-41 over that span, most recently a 24-10 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams as 10-point underdogs in Week 6. QB PJ Walker is expected to start for the 2nd straight game and Carolina just traded RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers so RBs D’Onta Foreman and Chubba Hubbard are set to handle the backfield duties.

Buccaneers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Panthers 13

Moneyline

Don’t even think about taking Tampa Bay (-710) straight up because of the steep odds, so PASS on the moneyline in this game. There is too much risk given the minimal return you’ll get if they come away with a victory.

Against the spread

BUCCANEERS -12.5 (-115) is where I’m going in this game with Tampa Bay coming off a disappointing loss. Meanwhile, the Panthers are going to have a backup quarterback, a hobbled secondary, and they just traded McCaffrey.

The Buccaneers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 road meetings against the Panthers and they are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 overall meetings against the Panthers.

Over/Under

OVER 39.5 (-108) seems a bit low considering that the Buccaneers could score enough points themselves to basically reach the Over. This is a perfect week for QB Tom Brady and the passing game to get on track with the Panthers overhauling their roster and coaching staff.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between Tampa Bay and Carolina.

Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (1-4) will head across the country this weekend to take on the Los Angeles Rams (2-3) at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff on Sunday will be at 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX) in Inglewood. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers have sandwiched their Week 3 win with losses in Weeks 1 and 2 and in Weeks 4 and 5. Things will get even more challenging this Sunday with QB Baker Mayfield out with an ankle injury. Additionally, the team fired Matt Rhule and promoted Steve Wilks to interim coach. Perhaps that’s the change this stagnant team needs to provide a spark this season before things get even worse.

The Rams have also dropped 2 games in a row, losing to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. Los Angeles has only scored 1 TD in its last 2 games and ranks 4th-worst in points scored this season – a stark contrast from the Sean McVay-led offense we’re used to seeing. Injuries have plagued the Rams, particularly on the offensive line, which has led to some serious struggles in the passing game, as well as the rushing attack.

Panthers at Rams picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 21, Panthers 17

Moneyline

Right off the bat, I’ll say that I’m not willing to bet either side of the money line. The Rams’ line is way too juiced at -500 for a team that looks anemic on offense. And for the Panthers, we just don’t know what we’re going to get with Wilks and QB P.J. Walker taking over.

I’ll PASS on the money line and bet on the spread instead.

Against the spread

The Rams have covered the spread only once this season, starting the year 1-4 ATS. They’ve been blown out in the last 2 weeks, too, each time by the opponent’s backup quarterback: Jimmy Garoppolo and Cooper Rush.

Walker has won both of his NFL starts with the Panthers and while I don’t expect him to lead Carolina to an outright win, the Panthers are capable of covering a 9.5-point spread in what’s expected to be a low-scoring game. Take the PANTHERS +9.5 (+100).

Over/Under

The total has only gone Over once in the Rams’ 5 games thus far. The Over is 2-3 in Panthers games, too. Until we see some signs of life from either of these offenses, I’m going to bet the UNDER 41.5 (-108) because while the defenses are respectable, the Rams and Panthers have gotten nothing going offensively recently.
