The Packers are entering this game with a 4-3 record overall and they have a 1-2 record in their divisional games too. They are 2-1 in their home games, 2-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the Detroit Lions 20-17. Jordan Love was the starting QB and he completed 27/45 passes for 274 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Josh Jacobs led the team in rushing yards with 36. Christian Watson led the receivers with 57 receiving yards on 5 receptions. Isaiah McDuffie led the defense in that game with 11 solo tackles while Anthony Campbell led the defense in sacks with 1. No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have the Packers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 4-3 record overall, but that record has them right at the bottom of the NFC North. They have looked good on their home field though with their 2-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Panthers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-3 record overall, but that record has them right at the top of the NFC South. They have been a good road team too with their 2-1 road record this year. The Panthers have managed to stay at the top of the NFC South due to being in such a bad division, but they have been really up and down all season and their grip on the division is starting to loosen. They are coming off a 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers in their last one and they weren't even competitive in their own stadium. Their defense has looked terrible all season, giving up a ton of points, but their offense has looked good at times. Lately their offense has had a lot more trouble though and this isn't a great situation for them on the road on a short week off that terrible loss. The Packers are coming off a tight 20-17 loss to the Lions in their last one, but they were right in that game with a chance to win and they have looked a lot better lately. They have a lot of talent on offense with Josh Jacobs making his return last week too, and the defense has looked pretty good all year. The Packers will be looking to bounce back after a tight divisional loss and they need this game a lot more since they are 4-3 overall yet still at the bottom of their division. The best way to place a bet here is on the Packers to cover the spread in this game.

“Just really disappointing. Turnovers really in every phase. A sack-fumble on a protection issue, a dropped punt led to points, the blocked kick. It really combined to put us in a really big hole.” - Dave Canales after his team’s loss against the Bucs in their last game. 

“We had some premier field position and we just didn't take advantage. We missed two field goals, but we know Trey is capable of making those.” - Matt LaFleur after his team’s loss against the Lions in their last game.
