So as a way to pass time until kickoff on Sunday I decided to play Madden to simulate how the game might go tomorrow between the Panthers and Bucs. While something's probably will not happen to the extreme the stats below show, there are a few trends that you can see that will most likely happen in this game. Let's hope the last point on this list does not happen! Otherwise this should be a solid win for the Carolina Panthers! Check it out!
