Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers Prediction: Both teams not in good form

Sunday's action in the National Football League takes place at Raymond James Stadium and features a matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Carolina Panthers' record over the previous 10 games played is 4-4. The last eight games that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played have resulted in a split.

In their last six games at home, the Buccaneers have gone 4 and 4. Tom Brady is passing for 4,178 yards at a 66 percent clip, with 21 touchdowns and 9 picks. Leonard Fournette has 68 receptions, while Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have combined for 68 receptions, 1,765 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. Fournette has 640 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in rushing, which averages 77 yards per game. The Tampa Bay defense is giving up 20.3 points and 315.4 yards per game. As a defense, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are led by Devin White's 115 tackles, with Vita Vea's 6.5 sacks and Jamel Dean's 2 interceptions also contributing significantly.

Five of Carolina's previous six away games have ended in losses. Sam Darnold has thrown for 759 yards, 4 touchdowns, and no interceptions, completing 61.4% of his throws. Laviska Shenault Jr. had 24 receptions, while DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall Jr. combined for 24 receptions, 1,213 receiving yards, and 7 touchdowns. D'Onta Foreman has rushed for 811 yards and scored five touchdowns to lead the Carolina Panthers' ground game, which averages 131 yards per game. The Carolina defense is allowing 22.5 points and 344.7 yards per game. The Carolina Panthers are led defensively by Shaq Thompson (116 tackles), with contributions from Brian Burns (12.5 sacks) and Jaycee Horn (3 interceptions).

The Carolina Panthers are probably playing better football going into this game, but we can't really trust them on the road in a playoff-like atmosphere. This game is almost as important as a playoff game, and Tom Brady is at quarterback. In the last 20 years, he has found a way most of the time. So, we will put our stake on Tampa Bay winning.
