![]() So, will Mike Vrabel consider resting some of his players to gear up for that make-or-break game in Week 18? It's not out of the realm of possibility and the double-digit spread suggests that he might. This game means virtually nothing to Tennessee, but their regular-season finale against Jacksonville does. Oh, did you know that the Bucs are the only team in the NFL without an ATS win at home (0-6-1) this season? The Panthers have more of an identity than the Bucs at the moment and I like them to win this game outright. Over that same stretch, Tampa Bay has gone 2-3 and is averaging 16.6 points offensively, and has turned the ball over 11 times. Since Week 12, Carolina has averaged 26.5 points per game and 187 yards on the ground, which has helped them to a 3-1 record. While Tampa Bay also got an OT win last week, it was hardly an inspiring showing from a team that continues to look lost offensively. They ran over the red-hot Lions to the tune of 320 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. As remarkable as this sounds, considering the turnover the Panthers have faced this season, they are playing better ball than the Bucs at this stage of the year. However, if Carolina wins this game and its regular-season finale against New Orleans, they'd hold the crown and head into the postseason. The NFC South could be determined in this matchup as a Bucs win would clinch them the division. ![]()
