Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have disappointed fans and analysts this season with their inconsistent performances, mainly as a result of their terrible offense. The Panthers have failed to put up any impressive performance this year, and scored only a handful of wins. Carolina will try to end the season on a strong note, but will most likely fail to do so. The Panthers desperately need some consistency if they hope to do better in this matchup.

Players to watch:

Bryce Young: 1,791 Yds, 8 TD, 9 INT

Chuba Hubbard: 225 Car, 1,043Yds, 8 TD

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up to finish the current NFL season with a bang. Despite starting off quite well, the Buccaneers managed to struggle in between, losing against teams like the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay’s offense seems to be doing alright in terms of their offense, but is allowing too many points to get through. This season, the Buccaneers are leaning heavily on quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Players to watch:

Baker Mayfield: 3,617 Yds, 32 TD, 14 INT

Bucky Irving: 152 Car, 852 Yds, 6 TD

Mike Evans: 52 Rec, 749 Yds, 9 TD
