The Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers aim to rebound from Week 7 losses when they meet on Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
Carolina (3-3) suffered a 43-13 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while Green Bay (4-3) fell 20-17 to the Detroit Lions after missing two field goals.
The latest odds list the Packers as 3.5-point favorites with an over/under of 47 points. The money line has Green Bay at -185 and Carolina at +166.
SportsLine expert R.J. White, who has a 50-20-1 record on Packers-involved picks returning $2,629 per $100 wagered, leans toward the over 47 combined points. The over has hit in seven of the last 10 head-to-head meetings dating to 2007, and in six of Carolina's last 10 games.
Offensively, the Panthers average 26.5 points per game (fifth in the league) behind quarterback Bryce Young (59.2% completion, 1,712 yards, 12 touchdowns, 4 interceptions) and top target Tetairoa McMillan (36 receptions, 511 yards, 2 touchdowns). Their defense allows 27.7 points per game.
Green Bay averages 20.6 points and allows 20.7. Quarterback Jordan Love has completed 60% of his passes for 1,958 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, though his receivers lead the league in drops.
White also identifies a crucial X-factor favoring one side of the spread; detailed picks are available on SportsLine.
