Lines are set for next week’s matchup.

The Bucs are coming off a very disappointing 23-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints. It was a game that could have clinched the NFC South and a playoff berth, but the team was flat and displayed no grit against a team that just wanted it more than they did.

Tampa Bay will be traveling for the final week of the 2023 season to Carolina to face the Panthers. It’s a game where, again, the Bucs can clinch the division with a win and host a home playoff game in the first round. And for now, our friends over at DraftKings are giving them the edge.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bucs are 6-point favorites against Carolina.

Point spread: Bucs -6
Point total: 37
Moneyline: Bucs -238, Panthers +195

The Bucs find themselves in a tough spot with a loss and need an incredible amount of help to get into the playoffs if they do lose. And if they win, they’d be playing host to the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles.

Which Bucs team will we see next week?
