The Carolina Panthers (1-3) are expected to be without reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton in the Week 5 Monday night matchup when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-3) as 4.5-point home favorites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Newton is still recovering from a concussion suffered last week and has yet to practice, which means backup Derek Anderson will likely take his place against the Bucs.
Anderson has completed 18-of-24 passes for 175 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions so far this season in relief of Newton, who was crushed at the goal line in a 48-33 road loss to the Atlanta Falcons when he was attempting a two-point conversion.
