The Carolina Panthers managed to reverse their fortunes with a win against the Washington Redskins last week. Conversely, Tampa Bay continued to be an NFC doormat against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Buccaneers hope that some home cooking can reverse the franchise's fortunes this week. But a solid running game would do them even better. Carolina has been deplorable against the run this year, giving up 5 yards per carry. So the Bucs would be wise to get the ground game established early in this contest.
While the rush defense in Carolina is putrid, Tampa Bay also yields a hearty 4.7 yards per gallop. DeAngelo Williams should be salivating over that statistic. The Panthers have not been able to do anything consistently well on offense this year. But Tampa Bay represents an excellent location to establish an offensive identity.
The Panthers offense will ultimately outpace the Bucs in this contest. Carolina will win comfortably in Tampa Bay.
