Sunday’s game is technically a meaningful game. If the Bucs win, they make the playoffs, as long as the Lions, Titans, Colts, Cowboys, and 49ers all win and the Redskins tie. So the Panthers will look to play the role of spoilers in Sunday’s clash that I’m sure all of America will have their eyes glued to.
The Bucs come into the game losers of two straight one touchdown road losses to the Cowboys and Saints. A win over visiting Carolina would give the Bucs 6 wins in their last 8 to wrap up their first season under head coach Dirk Koetter.
