As we look at Week 17, the two teams making their final push go head-to-head in the NFC South battle between Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Newspaper (1pm ET on FOX). Tampa Bay’s 19-16 overtime victory first Arizona Cardinals currently have the Bucs sitting atop the NFC South with their post-season rest in their hands.

Tom Brady: ‘Next time I decide to retire, it’s for me’
On the “Lets Go Podcast,” Brady said: ‘Next time I decide to retire, that’s for me’ while also hinting that he could return to the NFL next season. Nick, Greg & Wildes decide which team Brady will join if he returns to the NFL next season.
Last week, the Bucs were in the middle of the group with 21st place ranked 66.0 Banged Up Score but played against Arizona’s 30th placed team. This week, the Bucs face a much healthier team. Tampa Bay has faced injuries throughout the season, and fortunately for them, their division is not the elite that allows them to continue the hunt. They continue to battle injuries with 15 players who reported injuries last week, including those in the IR. The question is which will prevail this week? health or brave cat?
They face the Panthers, whose BUS rankings are up and down this season but are trending up towards the end of the year. It may not be a coincidence that they get to play their best football while their health is improving. They finished in the top 5 in 4th place last week with a 78.5 BUS ranking last week. Carolina also had to deal with personnel issues this year when it lost RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Robbie Anderson from the roster, but were able to pull together and win to continue the knockout race. They’ll be looking to take advantage of their health ahead of the Bucs.
Week 17 will paint a clearer picture of the post-season. Health will play a more important role as teams hope to continue gaining momentum at the right time.
