Our best Panthers vs Buccaneers SGP for Week 18
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been reeling in the home stretch of the season but get home field and host a Carolina Panthers offense that struggles to produce on the road. They also have the edge at quarterback with Baker Mayfield squaring off with Bryce Young.
Carolina RB Chuba Hubbard could see his touches increase with fellow tailback Rico Dowdle dealing with a sore toe. Head coach Dave Canales has been saying he’s going to give Hubbard more love in Week 18.

Tampa has gone from a Top-3 defense in EPA allowed per handoffs and opponent success rate per run in the opening eight weeks to 21st and 14th in those advanced metrics since Week 9.
Bucky Irving has been working his way back from injury in recent weeks and will get the goal line carries on Saturday. He also features as part of the passing game, with three TD grabs this season.
