Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers
Thursday, September 12, 2019 8:20 PM
Play: Total: 49/-110 Under
Tampa Bay lost 31-17 in last Sunday’s home opener to the 49ers as one-point favorites. San Francisco kicked two field goals and Tampa Bay returned an interception for a score midway through the second quarter for a 7-6 halftime lead. Jameis Winston threw two pick 6s in the second half that sealed the Bucs fate. He also had 3 interceptions. We expect different results as seldom does a pro QB have two back to back bad games as this. The first Thursday game in Week 2 is normally tough on both teams as they play with only three days of rest following the opener. Since 2015, the underdog has won outright four straight times in the Week 2 Thursday night affair. The Under is 6-1 in Buccaneers last 7 games overall, 5-1 in Buccaneers last 6 games on grass, 5-1 in Buccaneers last 6 games in Week 2 and 4-1 in Buccaneers last 5 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.

Carolina dropped to 1-8 in its past nine regular season games following Sunday’s 30-27 setback to the Rams. Los Angeles jumped out to an early 13-0 lead before Christian McCaffrey’s two-yard touchdown run in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter helped Carolina rally back to cut the deficit to 23-20. Cam Newton threw for 239 yards, while getting intercepted once. McCaffrey rushed for 128 yards and two scores, while hauling in 10 receptions for 81 yards. The Under is 4-0 in Panthers last 4 vs. a team with a losing record, 4-1 in Panthers last 5 games on grass, 4-1 in Panthers last 5 games following a straight up loss and 19-9 in Panthers last 28 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Head to Head
The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings in Carolina.
