5 Defeats In Last 6 For Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay go into this matchup in desperate need of a victory, having lost five of their previous six games to fall to 7-7.
The Bucs made a strong start to the season as they won five of their first six games, but their form nose-dived in late October.
They had to bounce back from a 24-9 defeat in Detroit with a 23-3 win at New Orleans, and they have won just one game since that success at the Superdome.
Tampa Bay lost 28-23 at home to New England, and then suffered back-to-back road defeats as they fell 44-32 in Buffalo and 34-7 at the Los Angeles Rams.
The Buccaneers avoided a fourth straight loss by beating Arizona 20-17, only to then lose 24-20 to New Orleans and 29-28 to Atlanta at home.
Inconsistent Carolina Panthers Are 3-4 In Last 7 Games
Carolina enter this game having lost four of their last seven games, failing to take full advantage of Tampa Bay’s recent struggles.
The Panthers made a rough start as they lost three of their first four games, before finding some form in October with a three-game win streak.
They beat Miami 27-24 and Dallas 30-27 at home, before heading out on the road to beat the New York Jets 13-6.
Carolina failed to maintain that consistency though and had to bounce back from a 40-9 blowout to Buffalo with a 16-13 upset of Green Bay, before responding to a 17-7 loss to New Orleans with a 30-27 overtime win in Atlanta.
The Panthers then sandwiched a surprise 31-28 win over the Los Angeles with road defeats to San Francisco, 20-9, and New Orleans, 20-17.
Verdict
Tampa Bay’s form has collapsed over the past several weeks, but Carolina have hardly been a model of consistency despite some good wins.
The Panthers have a terrible recent record against the Bucs too, so we lean towards the visitors in this one.
