The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who won four of their first five games of the season, have dropped consecutive outings to the Bears, Saints, Texans, Packers, and Titans to sit at 4-7 both straight up and against the spread in 2011.
Barring a miracle turnaround, then, the Bucs are out of playoff contention in the conference, but they can at least avoid the NFC South division basement this week by beating the 3-8 straight up (6-5 against the spread) Panthers in Tampa Bay.
The Bucs lost 23-17 in Tennessee over the weekend, as Josh Freeman completed 18 of his 33 pass attempts for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception. LeGarrette Blount rushed for 103 yards on 20 carries in the game, but fumbled twice.
The Carolina Panthers put an end to a three-game losing streak in Week 11 – but they did it against the winless Colts in Indianapolis. Carolina had previously racked up losses against Minnesota, Tennessee, and Detroit.
Cam Newton went an efficient 20 of 27 for 208 yards passing in the Panthers' 27-19 win over the Colts, while also running for 53 yards and a score. DeAngelo Williams rushed for 69 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries for Carolina in that contest.
Tampa Bay won both meetings with Carolina last season, covering the posted spread in both of those games as well. The Panthers are 6-4 straight up and 5-5 against the spread in their last 10 meetings with the Bucs dating back to 2006.
