Head to Head
Teams Last 10
This game will be played at Bank of America Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
Why Bet The Under:
✅ Both of these teams have really struggled offensively this season. The Buccaneers are averaging just 20.2 points per game on the year, while the Panthers are fifth worst in the NFL with 17.2 points per game. Both teams are averaging under 100 yards per game on the ground, putting them in bad spots regularly. That will help this game stay under the total.

✅ Also beneficial for the under in this game is the Panthers quarterback situation. Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and PJ Walker are all dealing with various injury concerns coming into this contest. Even if one of them is able to play, their lack of effectiveness when healthy would suggest that injured versions of them will not do any better.
✅ Five of Tampa Bay’s six games this season have gone under the total, tied for the most unders in the league through Week 6. Carolina has not been much better, with four of their six games going under the total heading into Week 7.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were favored by around 10 points against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. But they could not get things going offensively and lost outright in Pittsburgh in a low-scoring affair. This week, the Bucs will look to get their offense in gear to avoid falling below .500 and losing a second straight game as a double-digit favorite.
For the Bucs, the running game has to be better for them to turn things around offensively. The Bucs rank dead last in rushing yards per game, averaging 67.5 yards per game in that department this season. The question in this game is whether the Bucs can improve on that to help their struggling passing game get going.
Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers offense was once again anemic in their Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. PJ Walker was completely ineffective, as he completed just one pass beyond the line of scrimmage in the game before going out with an injury. That makes three injured Panthers quarterbacks this season, and there will be questions this week as to who will take the field for them in Week 7.
No matter who plays quarterback for the Panthers this week, they need to be more effective than Panthers quarterbacks have been so far this season. The Panthers have averaged 169.7 passing yards per game, the fourth worst passing average in the league this season. That is not going to be good enough against a stout Tampa defense, and it does not look like improvements are imminent.
