In case you haven't noticed, Tampa Bay has won three in a row. The biggest reason is QB stability, as rookie Mike Glennon (13 TDs, 4 INTs) is really blossoming under difficult circumstances. He has five TDs and one pick the last three games and was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for November - and deserved it. I expect him to have success here against Carolina's defense. Tampa Bay is on a 6-1 run OVER the total. The defense has been shaky ranked #21 against the pass. The Bucs have allowed 31, 31, 31, 24, 19, 28 and 21 in the the last seven games. The weather for Carolina will be great (50 degrees and sunny) with no wind which will help the offenses. Carolina has plenty of offensive weapons, and the OVER is 12-3-2 when the Panthers play against the NFC South. In addition, when these division rivals meet, the OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings. That included a 31-13 meeting last month. There's only one way to go here, so take the OVER.
