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.

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 18 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (5-11) visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12-4) for a Week 18 game Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Panthers vs. Buccaneers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Panthers have dropped six in a row, and they have failed to cover each of the past six outings, too. Carolina’s offense has struggled tremendously, as neither QB Sam Darnold nor QB Cam Newton has been able to move the ball.

The defending champion Bucs took care of the Panthers by a 32-6 score at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte in Week 16, covering an 11.5-point number.

Tampa is still battling the Los Angeles Rams for the No. 2 seed, and head coach Bruce Arians was adamant this week that the team will not rest starters in this season finale.

Panthers at Buccaneers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Buccaneers 33, Panthers 12

Money line

The Buccaneers (-450) will cost you four and a half times your potential return. They’re playing to win, and it’s hard to envision a scenario where the Panthers (+330) rise up and win, but you can’t risk that kind of money for such a small return. That’s amateur hour.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The BUCCANEERS -8.5 (-108) are playing for the two-seed in the NFC, while the Panthers +8.5 (-112) have looked lost across the past month and a half.

Carolina has shown no signs of being able to win an NFL game lately, let alone win on the turf of the defending champs.

Over/Under

The OVER 41.5 (-112) is a strong play, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Bucs nearly take care of this number on their own.

Tampa won 32-6 in the first meeting, nearly hitting the Over with little help from Carolina. Look for a similar lopsided score.
