Every week anyone can win in the NFL as parity is one of the factors which keeps it interesting for fans of many teams. Almost midway through this season only one team (Los Angeles Rams) remains undefeated and nearly half the league has an equal number of wins and losses or is just one game above or below being even. The Carolina Panthers are above this middle ground at 5-2 but host a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team (3-4) that does fall into that category.
In a normal year evoking the term “trap game” for a divisional opponent just two games back wouldn’t be conceivable but 2018 has been anything but a normal year for the Buccaneers.
