We have to be careful betting the NFL in Wk 18.

The most interesting scenario is in the NFC to me. Green Bay has clinched home field. But there are teams still vying for that #2 seed. Tampa is one of those teams.

The Bucs are -8 hosting the Panthers.

The Bucs need to win and they need the Rams to lose as I understand the situation for Tampa to get the #2 seed. The Rams play at the same time so Tampa will likely play starters. They won’t get the luxury of sitting back and knowing the Rams outcome prior to kickoff.

Tampa won this match up in Carolina 32-6 just 2 weeks ago.

As a Buc, Brady has beaten Carolina by 14 or more in all 3 meetings. Carolina has no offense, -11 in turnover margin this season

Tampa had a weak showing last week until late vs the Jets. I think they will come out strong early in this one.

The Play here is probably Tampa -4.5 First Half. I may take the -8 full game on Sunday as well but I am going to wait and gather all of the information on game day.
