Green Bay is a 2.5-point road favorite this Sunday, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last 10 games as a road favorite, the Packers are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS.
It isn’t often that you’ll see Aaron Rodgers pass for just 77 yards and no touchdowns in a game, but that was the star quarterback’s final line in last Sunday night’s 29-10 loss to the Denver Broncos. With the loss, Green Bay fell to 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS on the season. Rodgers and the Packers offense will try to bounce back against another tough defense this week versus the Panthers.
The Packers have played eight games against the Panthers since 2001. Green Bay is 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS over that span per the OddsShark NFL Database.
The Panthers appeared to be on their way to an easy win and cover last Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts with a 23-6 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Colts stormed back into the game with 17 unanswered points, but the Panthers eventually won the game in overtime 29-26 as a 5-point favorite.
The Panthers failed to cover the spread but moved to 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS with the win. Carolina hasn’t fared well as a home underdog in recent years with a 3-13 SU and 7-9 ATS record in its last 16 games as one.
Sunday’s total is set at 46.5 points. The OVER is 5-0 in the last five games between Green Bay and Carolina.
These two teams are two of the best in the NFC, and this game could have playoff seeding implications for down the road. Carolina is an excellent team that could win this game at home, but with the Packers coming off such an ugly performance, a bounceback win and cover for Green Bay seems slightly more likely.
