Panthers vs. Buccaneers Same-Game Parlay for NFL Week 18 | SGP Picks & Odds Today

My Panthers vs. Buccaneers same-game parlay anticipates the NFC South race extending into Sunday’s New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons matchup, with Tampa Bay snapping out of its funk to force the latter game to determine the division's fate.

The action kicks off from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., at 4:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). The Buccaneers are a 3-point betting favorite, and my NFL predictions for Week 18 include a play on the spread as the cornerstone of my same-game parlay.

Buccaneers -3 (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While the Buccaneers’ four-game losing skid means that Tampa can no longer clinch the division without help, I like Tampa to shake the brutality of its season-long trend at home (1-6 ATS).

Carolina has struggled away from home lately, dropping back-to-back road games - an 11-point defeat in San Francisco followed by another loss in New Orleans. At the end of the day, I’m far more comfortable betting on Baker Mayfield to deliver than trying to project a similar performance from Bryce Young.

Our Dustin Saracini makes the case for the other side with his Panthers vs. Buccaneers predictions.

Bucky Irving Over 58.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Carolina has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards to opposing running backs in the NFL this season (1,704), setting the stage for Bucky Irving to have a big day on Saturday.

Irving has cleared this rushing line in six out of nine games played this season, including a 71-yard performance in last month’s matchup with Carolina. Over their past nine games, the Panthers have allowed nine opposing running backs to clear this total.

I back Irving to score with my best Panthers vs. Buccaneers player props.

Tetairoa McMillan Over 58.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tetairoa McMillan is looking to put his final stamp on a campaign that has lost some shine in recent weeks. This is a matchup in which he can get it back, as Tampa Bay ranks 26th in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 236.4 passing yards per game. A solid outing should make a push in the Offensive Rookie of the Year odds.

McMillan has hit this prop in eight of his 16 games played, including a 73-yard output against the Bucs two weeks ago. Since DraftKings lists his prop at 60.5 yards, we’ll play this parlay at FanDuel for a slightly better line.

Esten McLaren has McMillan reaching the end zone with his anytime touchdown scorer predictions.
