With both teams 1-3 straight-up and 1-3 against the spread, each needs a win to keep contact in the NFC South race. Panthers backup QB Derek Anderson has prepared all week as if he will be starting. Carolina will not know until the end of the week if Newton, the franchise QB, will play against the Buccaneers.

With a healthy Newton, the Panthers are 14-0 SU in their last 14 games against teams with losing records. The Panthers are also 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in October.
