00:00Sunday afternoon action. Joe, one o'clock start. Tampa Bay and Carolina, look at these monster

00:04games we had down the stretch. This game going to go a long way to know who's going to decidedly

00:09win that NFC South. You look at Tampa Bay on the road. They opened up around two and a half. That

00:13line currently sits today at three across the board. A total 44 and a half, up to 45 and a half.

00:19Baker Mayfield and also Rice Young. You take a look and say, all right, you know, Mayfield and

00:23the Bucs really struggling. Last week, Carolina goes on the road, loses to New Orleans here at

00:27this point. Do you trust Tampa on the road as a favorite? The boys are back in town, as we like

00:32to say, Joe, but the defense not holding up their end of the bargain for either one of these teams

00:44for this game. And the fact that this game, oh, my goodness. And the fact that the Saints knocked off

00:51the Panthers after a week after knocking off the Bucs, which is pretty funny. But all of a sudden

00:56that frees a little new life into Tampa, right? Because had Carolina won that game,

01:02my goodness, Tampa is up against it. But now and now here we go. They got a little extra rest here.

01:09We already saw them get a little healthier on the offensive side of the ball. They're coming in with

01:14a little bruised ego here. And it's got bounce back, I think, written all over it for the Bucs.

01:20So it doesn't shock me that this open two and a half and we're seeing early money

01:24on the Bucs. Panthers have been better at home than on the road. But my goodness,

01:29did anything you saw from the Panthers excite you about backing them here as a, you know,

01:34no, it doesn't.
