Panthers open Week 7 as hefty underdog to Buccaneers

As of Wednesday morning, we still don’t know who will be starting under center for the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. But even if we did, we have a feeling the following spread would be right where it’s at now.

For Sunday’s NFC South clash, Tipico Sportsbook opened the host Panthers up as a whopping 10.5-point underdog to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The moneyline for Carolina sits at -360 with the over/under at 40.5 points.

The visitors, led by some dude named Tom Brady, come in at 3-3 on the campaign. While Tampa Bay’s defense has come out strong in the first six outings of the 2022 season, having allowed seventh-fewest yards per game (302.5), their offense is dragging along as the league’s 21st-ranked unit.

(Way) below the Buccaneers are the Panthers—who sit a distant last with 260.0 yards per contest. They’re fresh off looking like a high school offense in their 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams—where they recorded 203 yards and eight first downs.
