Offshores have this game circled because "sharp money" on Carolina is causing the line to increase slightly. The line opened at Carolina -3 -104 at Pinnacle. Even though the majority of bets is taking TB Bucs, the line has actually moved in the other direction. It's actually now MORE expensive (-3 -115/-120/-125) to bet on Carolina even with the majority of the Public betting on TB.
Chalk is still 7-2-1 ATS in Carolina games. Bucs have managed just 15 & 11 FDs the past 2 wks, but have won 4 straight, & have held 6 of 11 foes under 17 pts. Carolina has a 28-13 ppg edge at home this year, & Tampa is 9-18 ATS on the Dec road.
NFC South Division is 21-2 SU and 16-6-1 ATS mark in 2008, including 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS in
division duke-outs. The Bucs have been hot since the insertion of QB Jeff Garcia, for sure. But they are just 1-10 ATS in December with a .500 or
greater record when coming in off a division game. Couple that with the Panthers? 21-2 ATS mark at home in SU division victories in their franchise history and you have my MNF NSANE PLAY !! :scared
In my mind (and wallet) I'm going with Carolina.
