The final few weeks of the NFL regular season are here, and with that, there is plenty of excitement in the air. Week 16 of this football season brings us an all-NFC South clash as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel north to take on the Carolina Panthers.
This contest should be an intense one, considering the magnitude of what is at stake. Both teams come into this game with a 7-7 record, as the Bucs hold the tie-break advantage over the Panthers as we draw closer to the postseason.
Game Details:
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
| Bryce Young Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns | +112 | +118 |
| Mike Evans Overs 4.5 Receptions | +104 | +100 |
| Baker Mayfield Over 0.5 Interceptions | -102 | -104 |
Bryce Young has been on a tear recently when it comes to passing touchdowns. In the last 4 games, Young has thrown 8 touchdowns. Moreover, the Buccaneers have a much better run defense as opposed to their pass defense, ranking 30th in passing yards allowed, giving up 24 passing touchdowns in 14 games.
Buccaneers’ wide receiver made a massive impact after returning from injury in the last game as Tampa Bay’s offense looked more like what it was at the start of the season. Evans is one of the primary targets for Baker Mayfield and has caught 4 or more passes in 4 of the 5 games he has played this season. He missed out against the Lions, but that was also the same game where he had only 4 targets and left the game early due to an injury.
The Carolina Panthers’ defense sits mid-tier with 12 interceptions from 14 games. Baker Mayfield has thrown just 7 picks this season, but 5 of those have come in the last 5 games. In fact, he has thrown at least one interception in 4 of those 5 games.
The Panthers vs Buccaneers Week 16 encounter is a crucial one with significant ramifications for the upcoming postseason. With both teams having an equal 7-7 record, the Bucs are ahead only on the tiebreaker.
The Buccaneers may have lost their last game against the Falcons, but with Mike Evans back in the lineup, the offense saw a big difference. The Panthers have already exceeded expectations for this season, and they had a chance to take the lead in the division, but lost to division rivals, the New Orleans Saints.
