Just a few weeks away from starting the Playoffs of the NFLthe teams seek to get closer to the classification part, however, there are others that have already said goodbye to the season 25/26but they seek to close the regular season in an ‘honorable’ manner.
Las Carolina Panthers They come to the Week 18 duel with a streak of (8-8) and with the hope of getting ready for the postseason, because if they defeat Tampa, the team Bryce Young could sneak among the best in the NFL, in addition to becoming champion of the southern zone of the National Conference.
On the other hand, Tampa Bay Buccaneers receive in the Raymond James Stadium the game that is like a final for both, because the team with a streak of (7-9), can still dream of playoffs as long as they do not miss the victory tonight, so the performance of Baker Mayfield will be fundamental.
In case of a victory for the Buccaneers, they would be waiting for the game of Atlanta vs. New Orleanssince in the event of a defeat by the Falcons, Tampa would be crowned champion of the south.
