The NFC South gets a top-meets-bottom matchup this Sunday as the Panthers (3-2) welcome the Buccaneers who sit at 1-5. New Legendz players could make their first social bets on this game with a balance of 20,500 GC and 103 SC if they sign up using our exclusive bonus code, giving them plenty of avenues to make picks on a match which could see the Panthers take a stronger lead in the division and put added pressure on Bucs head coach Todd Bowles after a punishing start to the season for the Bucs.
The Panthers come into this game as divisional leaders, the home team, and off the back of consecutive wins including a 25-14 win in Philadelphia, while the Buccaneers are last in the table and will likely be facing a fourth consecutive game without starting passer Baker Mayfield. So why are the Panthers only 3-point favorites? Well: yes, they are top of the division, but with a 3-2 record. The NFC South is not an elite division, Carolina holds its only winning record, and they could lose that if they lose here. And Tampa has not been blessed with good luck; if they can cut out avoidable errors, this is winnable for them.
“Winnable” doesn’t mean “a likely win”, of course. And Carolina merits the favorite tag, possibly covering the spread, given that Bryce Young is finding his feet as starting QB and discovering a fruitful connection with receiver Tetairoa McMillan. If they can connect early and consistently, the Bucs will have a hard time getting a foothold in this game. If the radar is off, though, there’s reason to think the Bucs could get something given that Bucky Irving is averaging 5.3 yards a carry and Carolina’s run defense is porous, giving up more than 150 yards per game on the ground.
