Week 8: at Tampa Bay

The Carolina Panthers finish their road marathon with a trip down to Tampa Bay to take on the Bucs. The Panthers lost both games to the Bucs last year and this is a game that Cam Newton will be motivated to show his three interception game in Week 17 was nothing but a fluke.

It certainly won’t be easy as the Bucs appear to be a team on the rise with Jameis Winston under center running their offense. The combination of an improving Bucs team and being on the road for most of October, is enough to tip the scales in Tampa’s favor.

Result: Loss (5-3)
