The Carolina Panthers played a close game against the Seattle Seahawks that feel apart in the fourth quarter. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a game to the Miami Dolphins that wasn’t particularly close until the fourth quarter. Neither team looked like they belonged in the playoffs or atop the NFC South in Week 17, yet their Week 18 match up will likely grant the division title to the winner.
Week 18
Spread
Panthers: +3 (-114)
Buccaneers: -3 (-106)
O/U
43.5 (-115/-105)
Moneyline
Panthers: +132
Buccaneers: -156
Nobody is confident in this mess. The home team—the Bucs, here—is typically spotted three points on the spread. That accounts for the entire margin here. The Panthers defense was the only unit between both teams that played like they were hungry for a playoff berth in Week 17. On the road, underdogs, roller coaster, there are a thousand little streaks and myths that we can talk about as to why the Panthers are should win or lose this game. The truth of the matter is that it will come down to who is still healthy come Sunday and whether or not they can exceed 54 yards passing on the day.
