NFL Totals Pick – Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers
Can Brady Rebound & Bridgewater Put in a Solid Performance?
Our Tampa Bay vs Carolina totals pick has an over/under of 50.5. The over is at -107 and the under at -103. The Tampa Bay defense could be a difference maker in this contest. They have a good group of players who can make big plays.
The Carolina offense will depend upon the talents of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The skilled and talented Bridgewater has played unevenly this season. Tom Brady, who struggled last week versus New Orleans, will be focused on ensuring he makes up for last week’s performance. He has the skill to pick apart a Carolina defense that has made few interceptions. Also, the Panthers have made very few sacks, which should give Brady plenty of time to get the ball to his talented receiving corps.
This NFC South matchup will be played under cloudy skies. The forecast is for temperatures at game time to be in the low 71s with winds from the SSW at 16mph. This contest will play out on Sunday, November 15, 2020 at 1:00 pm ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC.
