Panthers vs. Buccaneers Player Props
Mike Evans is set to face the Panthers, and his receiving yards prop is at 61.5 yards. At the moment, the payout on the over has a payout of -116, with implied odds of 54%.
In his 16 games, Mike Evans is 16th in receptions and has 1233 receiving yards. Compared to other receivers, he is 13th in targets and has 13 touchdowns. I see Evans’ prop being set too high, considering the Buccaneers are a below-average group in terms of pass attempts. I’m taking the under at 61.5 yards.
- The Prop: Mike Evans Under 61.5 Receiving Yards (-116)
Panthers VS. Buccaneers Predictions
Having initially opened as the 6.0-point road favorites, Tampa Bay still holds the favored status, with the lines now at -4.5.
Despite being favored by 4.5 vs. the Panthers, I don’t like how the Buccaneers struggled to move the ball in their last game with only 13 first downs. Our recommendation is to take the Panthers +4.5.
The Pick: Panthers +4.5 | -110 at Fanduel Sportsbook
