By Cory Kinnan
The Buccaneers are across the pond as they get set for round two against the Carolina Panthers; here are five bold predictions for the London matchup.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have landed in London, England, and are practicing on a rugby pitch as they prepare to take on the Carolina Panthers. After a divisional loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the Bucs will be looking to get back on track and above .500 in the division on the year.
In week two, the Bucs were able to take down Cam Newton and the Panthers down on Thursday Night Football, and they will look to do the same to backup Kyle Allen as Newton continues to heal up. In that game, the pewter and red were able to get to Newton and sack him three times on the day; all were recorded by outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett.
The Todd Bowles-led defense of the Bucs was also able to hold MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey to under 100 total yards and no scores on the day. They will need a similar effort on the day in order to take down their division rival once again, this time in London.
Ahead of Sunday’s matchup over brunch as it will be played at 9:30 in the morning Eastern Standard Time, here are five bold predictions for the Buccaneers as they look to complete the season sweep against the Panthers in London.
