The Carolina Panthers look to build on their first victory Sunday when they visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are trying to avoid their first 0-6 start in 24 years.

NFL odds have the Panthers listed as 3.5-point road favorites.

Jake Delhomme, 8-2 in 10 career starts versus Tampa Bay, threw one TD and was intercepted five times as the Panthers and Buccaneers split two meetings in 2008.

While Carolina’s running attack has gone from first in the league last season to 23rd in 2009, Tampa Bay has also experienced a dip in production from its backfield while losing its first five games for the first time since 1996.

The Buccaneers were 15th in the league in rushing in 2008 but they are 26th this season with 94.6. Leading rusher Cadillac Williams matched a season low with eight yards in Sunday’s 33-14 loss at Philadelphia.
