Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have disappointed fans and analysts with their inconsistent performances this season, largely due to their terrible offense. The Panthers have not had an impressive performance this year and have only managed a handful of wins. Carolina will try to end the season on a high note, but they most likely won’t succeed. The Panthers definitely need some consistency if they want to do better in this matchup.

Players to Watch:

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

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

Xavier Legette: 41 Rec, 439 Yds, 4 TD

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing to end the current NFL season with a bang. Although the Buccaneers started quite well, they struggled along the way, losing to teams like the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay’s offense appears to be fine offensively, but it’s letting too many points 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 auto, 852 yards, 6 TD

Mike Evans: 52 Rec, 749 Yds, 9 TD
