Panthers vs Buccaneers Prediction
The Buccaneers have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Panthers, and the underdog has covered 5 of the last 8 meetings. Mayfield is back as well for the Bucs. You can talk yourself into the points. However, the Buccaneers have a losing and covering problem that goes back to last season. Also, Mayfield returning doesn’t completely fix an offense that’s 24th in total offense and 25th in scoring offense. Egbuka is also out at wide receiver. The Panthers are simply playing the better ball, and if that offense continues to produce, I’m afraid the Bucs don’t have the horses to keep up. I’ll lay the field goal.
