Buccaneers vs Panthers Tips
Here we have got a 19/2 Bet Builder for the big divisional matchup, plus the latest odds from the top UK betting sites.
Rico Dowdle to score a touchdown anytime
Rico Dowdle has had a great season this year and will be looking to make an impact in this game as well. He has rushed for over 1,000 yards and got six touchdowns on top of that. He has also been solid in the receiving game with 277 yards a one more touchdown.
Here he is going up against a Buccaneers defence that is ranked 26th in the league when it comes to giving up rushing yards. With this game likely to be tight the rushing game will need to be good and Dowdle is the goal line back for the Panthers.
He should get plenty of opportunities to score in this game.
Bucky Irving 50+ yards (Alternate rushing yards market)
In a similar vein to Rico Dowdle, Bucky Irving should get plenty of involvement in this game. Although the Buccaneers have a strong running back room, Irving is the main guy still and should be effective.
Irving lost a lot of the season to injury, but he has hit over 50 yards in seven out of the nine games he has played in. He has also managed to amass over 50 rushing yards in four of his last five games.
Chris Godwin 4+ receptions (Alternate receptions market)
Another Buccaneers player who has struggled with injuries this season is Chris Godwin. The veteran wide receiver has missed a lot of the season but has played in the last six games in a row.
During that time, he has had four or more receptions in four out of them six games. Not only has he done that, but he has also hit that target in each of his last four games including the reverse game in Carolina.
He should see plenty of targets again in this one as well.
Tetairoa McMillan 4+ Receptions (Alternate receptions market)
Tetairoa McMillan has had a great rookie season for the Panthers and should get involved in this game. The wide receiver is only 71 yards away from hitting 1,000 yards this season and has scored seven touchdowns.
He has had four targets or more in all but one of his games this season and should be targeted plenty of times in this game as well. When the Panthers played the Buccaneers two weeks ago, he had six receptions.
Expect the same to happen again in this game and get us a winning bet.
