Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction

Who would have thought this was going to be a meaningful game down the stretch? Both of these offenses struggle in the red zone, ranking 23rd and 26th. However, the Panthers' red-zone defense is much more stout than Tampa Bay's. Tampa Bay's defense ranks 31st in red zone TD% allowed, allowing touchdowns on 72.2% of red-zone trips.

I also think the Bucs are still overvalued in the market. I touched on this last week, but their season is heavily based on those comeback wins and game-winning late drives earlier in the season. While they are fun, they are not sustainable, as we have seen.

We get a close one in this NFC South playoff race.
