TB

Tampa Bay +8.5....Carolina kind of looked like doo doo this past week and they may be looking ahead a little here.  Glennon has proved calm on the road now.....so going to trust him a some here

"trust him some here"

I don't know if the Buccaneers have done enough to "right the ship" (HA! Good one Quad!), but 8.5 is a lot of chalk to eat for a divisional. Plus, a few more quality games, and maybe Schiano isn't standing in the unemployment line come the end of the season.......

Carolina in a squeaker - but Bucs should cover......

Wtf TB is on a 3 game winning streak! They are playing better since the weather change but you got to remember that the panthers are also on a winning streak as we'll pulling off upsets an coving games as we'll they are at home this week giving 8.5 it's a lot but they can do it not taking it but I'll take the overs in this one

P.S. An the Bucs was at home in their first meeting neither teams was at their best and the panthers rip them a newSssssss.

TAMPA BAY    +  8.5

UNDER       41.5

Carolina  -7.5 Over Tampa Bay!

Carolina 6-1 vs. spread in their last 7 games!

Carolina has blow-out power at home!  Now 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 home games!

"Over" is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between Carolina and Tampa Bay!

Carolina Panthers -7.5 Over Tampa Bay Bucs!

"Over" the Total at 41.5!

GLTA                                   

CAR -7.5 - the streaking Panthers are 6-1 ATS and now face a face a Tampa Bay defense minus Darrelle Revis and MLB Mason Foster. SCORE: Buccaneers 10-Panthers 24.

   Foster is now probable, Revis is still questionable + Bucs D gets Goldson back this week.

Carolina covers

You got it right Quad. Taking the +8.5 before it goes down to 7.

+8 ... Be close 

Bucs putting up points last 4 games and Carolina puts up points at home as well - so over IMO - comments?

Dammit boy it's over...college regular season and getting that easier NFL large!! Last few games a bittttch to cap but this one cash duckets. Fig Newton and panthers look ahead game to new orl next week. Vue don't you mess this one up boyy and quad quit selling your bookies picks!!! Eyyyyyyy. Sciano finally hit the hash pipe and chilled out. Tamp for the large

OVER THE POINTS

Panther 

Carolina puts TB back into their losing ways. 

Carolina wins this game. Whether or not they cover the spread is another matter altogether, given the way Tampa Bay has been playing of late.

Tampa Bay has a respectable defense against the run (ranked 9th), but they are vulnerable against the pass (ranked 20th). I expect Newton to put the ball in the air more than he usually does, and I expect Carolina's defense (ranked 3rd) to take care of business today.

My play is a teaser: Carolina -0.5 and Tampa Bay/Carolina +34.5

Camolina Camthers for the big W!

I teased down Carolina.  They should be able to squeek this out. I dont see Tampa sacrificing their bodies for Schiano when they have nothing to play for.
