are back at home for the last time in 2021 for a Week 16 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-10.5), and the Panthers are expected to get smoked by a superior team as the line from DraftKings Sportsbook now has the Panthers as 10.5-point underdogs to Tampa. The over/under is currently set at 44 points.
These numbers have moved a few points in Carolina’s favor from the opening line, which saw the Panthers as 14-point underdogs with a 48.5 point over/under total. It’s not really surprising to me that the Panthers are the underdogs in this one due to the fact that the Panthers are simply a bad football team, and the Bucs are at a much higher level than the Panthers are right now.
