If I have my facts right, Bucs have the inside track on the looming tie-breaker possibility:
*If they tie with same record, would be 1-1 H2H...and each team would be 3-3 in Division.
*Go to Common Game record:
As of Week 16, 2025, the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a close history, with the Panthers leading the all-time series, but recent common game records highlight their intense divisional fight, where the
Bucs held an edge in common games (4-3) compared to Carolina's (3-4) heading into their Week 17/18 matchups, crucial for NFC South tiebreakers.
...I believe the Bucs would nose out CAROL. (But it's sort of a lame tie-breaker).
