After giving the Chiefs everything they could handle last week the Panthers would appear primed to knock off the Buccaneers this week. That’s what the early money seems to think anyway. The spread opened at 6.5 points on Monday but narrowed quickly. I’ve seen as low as 4.5 points.
Homer’s take
The Panthers are better than many thought they would be in a rebuilding year. They have yet to get blown out by any team in spite of their 3-6 record. They are a young team learning how to win games in the fourth quarter.
