Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers Schedule: Odds, Point Spread, TV Channel, Preview, Prediction
The Carolina Panthers face the Green Bay Packers in one of the most anticipated games in the NFL on Sunday at 1:00 PM at the Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Packers are on the verge of getting back into a Super Bowl form. Aaron Rodgers has been playing with sparks in his eyes and with poise when he threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns as the Packers pulled of a come-from-behind victory over Miami last Sunday, 27-24.
Riding in a three-game winning streak, the Packers played with intensity and efficiency when Rodgers rallied his troops in 11 plays for 60 yards that ended into the hands of Andrew Quarless for a touchdown with three seconds left.
“Any time you overcome adversity, you have this experience to build off. That’s why you play. This is an excellent character win,” coach Mike McCarthy said in Green Bay’s official website.
Rodgers has been playing in high level as he reached a milestone by becoming the first player to throw 15 touchdowns with one or fewer interceptions in the first six games of the season. Moreover, he averages 236.5 yards and 111.4 passer rating.
With the rise of Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers are on the right track for yet another Super Bowl try. The Packers will be tested against the tight defense of the Panthers.
Offensively, Green Bay averages 224.3 yards on passing and 94.8 yards in rushing. Defensively, Green Bay yields 213.5 yards in passing and 154.5 yards in rushing per game.
The Panthers (3-2-1) are legitimate contenders in the AFC. With Cam Newton at the center, the Panthers will have a chance to be in the playoffs again. Newton threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns, with 107 yards and a score on the ground that ended up to a 37-all tie against the Bengals last Sunday.
Newton played added the running game at his arsenals against the Bengals as he attempted 17 times on the ground.
Greg Olsen, Jerricho Cotchery, and Kelvin Benjamin are his favorite receivers. They combined for 169 yards receptions over the Bengals. With the full weapons of the Panthers at disposal, they would push the Packers into a shootout.
Offensively, Carolina averages 257 yards in passing and 86.8 in rushing. Defensively, Carolina yields 252.3 yards in passing and 140.2 in rushing.
