Betting Odds and Prediction

Christmas Eve is over and the NFL season is coming to an end. The last two weeks of the regular season are Sunday and Monday. The NFL playoffs will start on Thursday Night Football.

Tampa Bay is coming off a 19-16 win over Arizona Cardinals in overtime in Week 16. The Buccaneers are 7-8 and at the top of the NFC South. They are playing the New England Patriots on Sunday. Tom Brady is the quarterback for the Patriots. Mike Evans is their top receiver.

The Carolina Panthers are 6-9 and in second place in the NFC South. They are one game behind the Buccaneers. A win for the Panthers would tie the Bucs for first place and they would fight on the last day for division title. The Panthers have one of the worst aerial offenses in NFL.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers are favored to beat Cincinnati Panthers.
