Kevin Erickson | Staff Writer

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8) and Carolina Panthers (2-14) meet Sunday for a Week 18 matchup at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Buccaneers vs. Panthers odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire's NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers suffered a 23-13 loss at home as 2.5-point favorites against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17, but Tampa Bay still controls its own destiny in terms of a division title. If the Bucs win Sunday at the Panthers, they will be the NFC South Division champions. Tampa Bay was a 3.5-point home favorite in the 1st regular-season meeting vs. Carolina in Week 13 but only won 21-18 with the Over (37) cashing.

The Panthers hit rock-bottom in Jacksonville Sunday, losing 26-0 as 4-point underdogs to the Jaguars. It was the first time the Panthers were shut out since Week 12 in 2002. Carolina has been held to 9 points or less in 3 of its past 4 outings -- though one was a 9-7 win vs. the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. The Panthers have also been held to 15 or fewer points in 8 of the past 10 contests. The Under is 8-2 in that 10-game span.
