The Buccaneers are a 3.5 point favorite over the Panthers. The over/under is 43.5.

Panthers-Buccaneers prediction

It has to be deflating for the Buccaneers after watching the Falcons dispose of the Rams on Monday Night Football. Plus, Baker Mayfield isn't right. He's a very good quarterback, but he's not playing great the last half of the season. There's something wrong, and I think the season ends here. Prediction: Panthers 24, Buccaneers 20
