Carolina 24-20
Bucs will play better against an embattled Carolina defense but still doesn't have the firepower to keep up with Cam Newton or Derek Anderson. The Bucs may struggle against WR Kelvin Benjamin.

Doesn't matter who is playing QB for the Panthers. Carolina owns the Bucs, which haven't beaten the Panthers since 2012.
