The NFL has two games on it’s Week 18 Saturday slate. First up is an NFC South battle between the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This game is for the division, but the Falcons could play spoiler for the Buccaneers tomorrow with a win over the Saints. If the Bucs win, and the Falcons win, the Panthers still win the division. None of that will matter if the Panthers win and take the title today.
Matchup: Carolina Panthers (8-8) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)
