The final week of the 2025 NFL regular season is here! It’s not as exciting as some fans were hoping for, as a majority of the playoff spots and positions have already been locked up. For many teams, Week 18 is nothing more than a chance to secure a better draft pick, but that’s to be expected at this point in the season.
We do have a few games that mean something, including Saturday’s NFC South battle between the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Either team has a chance to clinch the division in this one, a sentence we didn’t think we’d be writing when the season started.
With this in mind, we’ve put our favorite player props together from this matchup, hoping to sweep the board with our picks. Let’s get into it!
Baker Mayfield OVER 217.5 Passing Yards
Baker Mayfield hasn’t been the incredible quarterback this year that he was a season ago. Last year, he was lighting up the stat sheet with passing yards and touchdowns, but that hasn’t been the case to this point.
He hasn’t been bad, certainly, but the Buccaneers haven’t been able to rely on him to throw them out of jams. However, we’re expecting something of a bounce-back from him in this game, especially since his team’s back is up against the wall and they’re in desperate need of a win.
Mayfield still has some magic left in him, and we think he shouldn’t have trouble hitting 225 yards given the circumstances.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bryce Young | Over 234.5 Pass Yards | |
| Bryce Young | Under 238.5 Pass Yards |
Bryce Young OVER 198.5 Passing Yards
Similar to Mayfield, Young isn’t having the season Panthers fans hoped he would in his third year in the league. He hasn’t taken the jump that one would expect out of a former No. 1 overall pick, so there’s a lot of disappointment around the organization with his growth and development.
His future in the NFL and with the Panthers could be called into question in the 2026 season and beyond, but he could do a lot for himself with a win in this game on the heels of a solid performance.
Because of that, we’re riding with his passing line, believing he’s going to do whatever possible to put his team in a position to win. The Panthers have been bad for years, and while they might not have what it takes to make a deep run when they get there, making it to the playoffs could prolong his time as QB1.
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tetairoa McMillan | Over 64.5 Reception Yards | |
| Tetairoa McMillan | Under 65.5 Reception Yards |
Tetairoa McMillan OVER 58.5 Receiving Yards
The Panthers knew they wanted to get Young a weapon on offense to help his chances as a passer, and Tetairoa McMillan was too good a player to pass up on in the 2025 NFL Draft.
McMillan has been rock-solid all season long, a player who has been more than worth his high capital. He and Young have been on the same page all year, and with a big passing day on the horizon for Young, it only makes sense to pair McMillan’s receiving line in this spot.
