Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The 32-year-old Mike Evans had his streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons come to a screeching halt this year while being limited to seven games played (today will be his eighth). His three touchdowns entering the regular-season finale are tied with his sophomore NFL season as being the lowest total of his career.
So, my best Panthers vs. Buccaneers anytime touchdown scorer prediction is for the veteran to make an impact in Week 18 and give his team its best shot at reaching the postseason for a sixth straight season, in what could be Evans' final game.
🏴☠️ How do the Bucs make the playoffs?
The Buccaneers will need to win on Saturday and then hope the Atlanta Falcons lose to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday - in a game meaningless for both sides - in order to make the playoffs, according to Gary Pearson's NFL Week 18 scenarios.

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The eighth overall pick of the NFL draft, Tetairoa McMillan, enters Week 18 as the betting favorite by the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds. After a slow start to his rookie season, McMillan has been a huge part of his team's success over the second half of the season, with five touchdowns over his past six games.
I expect QB Bryce Young and the Panthers' coaching staff to do everything in their game-planning power to help McMillan secure the OROY award, and clinch a playoff berth in the process. Liam Fox breaks down the OROY odds race.

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers (+360) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Emeka Egbuka's rookie season has been pretty much the opposite of McMillan's. The 19th overall pick started the season with five touchdowns over his first five pro games, but he has just one since - and that was on Nov. 9.
Egbuka's catch rate has dropped to 50% entering Week 18. He does, however, average 15 yards per reception as a big-play threat. He can take advantage of a Carolina team allowing 7.71 yards per target and a 63.7% catch rate. Though he has +1600 Offenive Rookie of the Year odds compared to McMillan's -175, a big game in their final head-to-head matchup of the year could help his case.
