| NFL | Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Spread | 4:30pm EST - Jan 3/2026 |
The PLAY: Carolina Panthers +3.0 (-120)
Atlanta's upset win over the Rams on Monday night threw a massive curveball into this Saturday evening showdown. If Carolina wins, the Panthers claim the NFC South and will be the No. 4 seed in the playoffs. That part is cut-and-dry. If Tampa Bay wins, the Bucs can't celebrate because they still need to wait for the result of Sunday's Falcons-Saints game. A Falcons win would create a three-way tie at the top of the division, and Carolina would hold the three-way tiebreaker. So if the Bucs handle business on Saturday, they need New Orleans to beat Atlanta on Sunday.
Carolina's 23–20 home win over the Bucs on December 21 broke a string of five straight wins by Tampa Bay in this NFC South matchup. Ryan Fitzgerald kicked the game-winning field goal with under three minutes remaining as the Panthers' defense held Baker Mayfield to one of his worst games of the season. Carolina had a chance to wrap things up last week, but the Panthers fell short against the Seahawks.
Tampa Bay is 1–7 straight-up and 0–8 against the spread over the last eight games. The Bucs' only two wins since mid-October have come against the 6–10 Saints and 3–13 Cardinals. If Tampa Bay wins this game, it guarantees that the NFC South champion will finish with a sub-.500 record for the third time since 2014.
