Head-to-Head Trends
Favorite is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Carolina.
Buccaneers are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 meetings.
Buccaneers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Carolina.
Analysis: I’ll be honest and admit that I don’t really like either team in this contest very much. However, the Buccaneers are actually in far worse shape than the home Panthers in this matchup.
Carolina will start young quarterback Matt Moore and that could either be an improvement over the struggling Jake Delhomme or not, there really is no telling how well Moore will perform.
The Buccaneers are so young though and Carolina does have some star players on the roster in DeAngelo Williams, Julius Peppers and Steve Smith, that the Panthers are the correct pick to win this game and narrowly cover the NFL point spread over the lowly Buccaneers.
All of the key trends for this ballgame also point to a Panthers payday with Carolina going a spotless 4-0 ATS in their last four games against NFC opponents and a blistering 5-1 ATS in their last six games against their NFC South Division rivals.
