One wager to make for every team

Panthers: Panthers OVER 16.5 total points (+100)

We’re banking on the bounceback theory this week, folks. After head coach Frank Reich was canned, primarily for the lack of progress on offense and with rookie quarterback Bryce Young, the team has been put on notice. Whether the dismissal of Reich lights a fire or sparks a fresh change, the Panthers can start a bit fresh and let it all hang out. Perhaps a new set of eyes, or the subtraction of an old set, gets this group going—especially against a defense that has allowed the sixth-most yards per game. – Anthony Rizzuti, Panthers Wire

Buccaneers: Bucs by 1-6 winning margin (+280)

This Bucs team isn’t able to beat anyone in a landslide at the moment (or anyone in general, really), so while I do think this team can beat the 1-10 Panthers, don’t expect it to be by a lot. Tampa Bay’s secondary is still lackluster and the offense hasn’t been able to put together a complete game, and I don’t expect all of that to happen just because the Bucs are playing the Panthers. With a division rivalry at stake and a new head coach in Carolina, expect this one to be close and bet accordingly. – River Wells, Bucs Wire
