It's tough to pick the Bucs tonight in Carolina.
I mean, who's standing at this point?
Not even the absence of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton guarantees success. Newton's back-up, Derek Anderson, is 2-0 in starts against the Bucs. The Panthers, like the Bucs, are 1-3, but the Bucs aren't defending NFC champions. Carolina will be snarling. And it's a Monday night. Bad vibe for the Bucs.
Speaking of who's standing, there might be a teaching moment here for Jameis Winston.
Jameis should take a look across the field at Newton, who is out with a concussion.
