The Bucs opened as 1-point favorites over the Panthers, and wiseguys were thrilled to get down on Carolina right off the bat.

Sports Insights' Bet Signals have triggered three steam moves on the Panthers, once at a pick'em and twice more at -1.5, which help explain why the current number sits at -2.

Steam refers to sudden and uniform line movement across the entire betting market, and is usually the result of respected bettors getting down on the same side of one game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

With 62% of all tickets wagered on the spread also landing on the Panthers, it'll be important to monitor whether the combo of sharp and public money pushes this line up to -3.

And if it gets there, the question will become whether wiseguys again see value, this time with Tampa Bay at the key number of +3.
