Panthers vs Packers Odds & Betting Handle

Packers Lay An Egg At Los Angeles

The Packers flopped on the road at the Chargers, which is surprising but understandable. They had a big win on the road in Kansas City in primetime the week before, so they came out a bit sleepy against the Chargers. Hopefully it’s just a one-off for the Packers but there were a number of red flags in that performance.

The big concern for the Packers has to be their run defense, which allowed the Chargers to pile up 159 rushing yards and hold the ball for 35:51 in terms of time of possession. They’ve had a tough time getting off the field all season long.

Taking a look at some of the other numbers, the Packers were outgained 442-184 and nearly doubled in first downs at 24-13. The 184 yards of offense is surprising considering Rodgers had eight total touchdowns and 734 yards passing in the previous two games. We’ll see if it’s a one-off or if the Packers offensive issues will continue.

Panthers Running Game Will Push Packers

When you take a look at the action here, 64% of the handle is on Green Bay and 65% of the bet count. However, 57% of the sharps like Carolina, so they obviously see something here. There are probably two main factors for this.

Rodgers was harassed a lot in the pocket last week and that trend could continue. He’s now been sacked eight times in the last two games and will go up against the team that leads the NFL in sacks (34). On top of that, there are the aforementioned issues with the run defense.

The Packers held the Chicago Bears to just 46 rushing yards in Week 1 but since then, have allowed 137.8 rushing yards per game. Now they’ll have to face a Panthers team that’s sixth in the NFL in rushing yards per game and is tied for the league lead with 13 rushing touchdowns.

Weather Could Be Factor

Winter has hit the Midwest sooner than expected as we saw snow at Lambeau Field earlier this week. According to the matchup report, Sunday’s temperatures are expected to be near freezing, so that could emphasize the ground games more so than the passing. As of now, there’s only a 10% chance of precipitation.

Aaron Rodgers wants more “juice” following the Packers’ dry performance last Sunday against the Chargers.

What’s The Best Bet?

I don’t think we’ll see the Packers offense come to a complete halt for a second straight week but it could be a grind. With the weather and the style of opponent, this won’t be easy. While I do expect the Packers to pull this out, I think it’s too many points in this spot. The Panthers typically play close games, so take them getting 5 points.
