Panthers Open As 3-Point Favorite Over Buccaneers

The Panthers have opened as an early three-point favorite to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.I expected the Cats to be favored by a bigger margin than that, but Carolina certainly hasn't been a juggernaut this year and the game IS being played in Tampa Bay.Both teams have struggled offensively this season, with the Panthers averaging just 14 points and 97 rushing yards per game, and the Buccaneers averaging only 13 points and 94 rushing yards per contest.Look for the team that can improve on those numbers to win the game.And that team should be the Panthers....
