Panthers vs. Buccaneers Free Pick September 20, 2020
(NFL) Carolina vs. Tampa Bay,
Point Spread: 9.50 | -123.00 Carolina (Away)
Result: Loss
The Carolina Panthers took a 34-30 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1. They came just short of covering the spread, but I think they'll cover a much larger number here against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.

The Bucs are coming off a 34-23 season-opening loss at New Orleans. New QB Tom Brady did not have a particularly good game, finishing with 239 yards (he was allowed to polish the numbers in garbage time) and two TD passes vs. two INTs. With no preseason games, it might take a couple of games for 43-year old Brady to gel with his new teammates and get used to how coach Bruce Arians wants to run the offense.

As for the Panthers offense, you pretty much know what Teddy Bridgewater brings to the table and he has an amazing ATS record as a starter. Bridgewater had a solid 269 yards and a TD on 22-of-34 passing against the Raiders while RB Christan McCaffrey ran for 97 yards and two scores.
