The Tampa Bay Buccaneers delivered a poor performance on their last outing and lacked important elements like Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, some punters could be tempted to bet against them this weekend, even if the weak Panthers of the Caroline are on the horizon.

Head coach Bruce Arians’ troop leaves largely favorite for this duel scheduled for Sunday in Charlotte; The Mise-o-jeu site set the odds for a triumph of the defending Super Bowl champions at 1.12, while that for a home team win is set at 4.00. Also, the confrontation will put the head club of the Southern section of the National Association against the one occupying the cellar.

However, Tampa Bay suffered a 9-0 shutout in its last outing against the New Orleans Saints. His 10-4 record earns him a good three-game lead at the top and a prolonged slack cannot be ruled out. Meanwhile, the Panthers should bet on Cam Newton for quarterback, but that could change at any time if the veteran gets into trouble again. Facing the Buffalo Bills last weekend, he completed just 18 of his 38 passes.
Can Washington surprise?
Among the bets that could pay off big is that of an unexpected triumph for Washington at the expense of the Dallas Cowboys. At first glance, the Texan squad shouldn’t have too much trouble disposing of their great rivals; Mise-o-jeu favors it with an odds of 1.11, while the representatives of the American capital are quoted at 4.15.
On the other hand, the recent clash between the two teams on December 12 ended with a relatively narrow 27-20 win for the Cowboys, first in the East National with a 10-4 record. Then, their opponents will find their quarterback Taylor Heinicke whose name was removed from the list of players unavailable due to COVID-19. In his absence on Tuesday, Garrett Gilbert was in charge of the attack and he totaled 194 yards by air. In principle, Heinicke will be able to do better.
