The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were handed their worst defeat of the season, losing 9-0 at home to the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay lost positioning in a battle for first place in the NFC, but are still on track to win the NFC South with relative ease. The bigger issue comes long term as the team will be down Chris Godwin for the rest of the season as well as some other key contributors for the rest of the regular season.

Let's catch you up on the latest line movements and our best bet for Sunday's divisional matchup.

Buccaneers vs. Panthers Prediction

Our Iain McMillian is not worried about last week's result, or the injuries facing the Bucs this weekend considering how putrid the Panthers offense has been.

"Don't allow the Buccaneers latest result to cloud your judgement. They are still one of the top teams in the NFL. They rank third in yards per play (6) and sixth in opponent yards per play (5.2).

Meanwhile, the Panthers offense has been abysmal all season and have somehow gotten worse in recent weeks. They rank 31st in yards per play (4.7), and they've only averaged 4.3 yards per play over their last three games.

I have zero faith that the Panthers offense can keep pace with the Buccaneers offense, despite the season-ending injury to Tampa Bay wide receiver Chris Godwin."

PICK: Buccaneers -10
