After both teams lost their most recent games, Green Bay returns home seeking to cover the spread for a fifth consecutive game. The Packers are tipped to leverage their strong defense and running game against a Carolina squad still recovering from a large defeat. The recommendation is for Green Bay to cover, as their defense maintains impressive form while Carolina’s defense struggles—particularly against the run.

Green Bay are tipped to cover as they bounce back on a short week.

The Packers can run over this Carolina defense, opening up the passing game for quarterback Jordan Love, while their own defense continues its recent impressive form.

Packers Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Panthers Won Last Meeting

  • Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series 12-7
  • Carolina Panthers won 16-13 when the two teams last met in November 2025

Carolina Panthers 3-3 Following Blowout Defeat

Carolina head to Lambeau Field looking to rebound from a brutal home defeat that dropped them to 3-3.

The Panthers made a losing start to the season as their defense was gashed in a 59-37 defeat to Chicago, but they rebounded a week later to blowout Atlanta on the road, 34-3.

They failed to follow that up in Cleveland as they fell 21-18, only to rebound with an impressive 32-26 victory over Detroit.

Carolina then backed that up in Philadelphia as they downed the Eagles 25-14, but failed to make it three-in-a-row last weekend.

Instead the Panthers suffered an embarrassing home defeat at the hands of Tampa Bay, losing 43-13 to the Buccaneers.

Green Bay Packers 4-3 After Defeat In Detroit

Green Bay return home on a short week looking to bounce back from the defeat at Detroit that dropped them to 4-3.

The Packers opened the season with a 39-22 defeat at division rivals Minnesota, and then underwhelmed as they beat the New York Jets 20-17 in overtime at home.

They failed to follow that up on Thursday Night Football as they lost 35-14 to Atlanta, but they responded to that setback with a three-game win streak.

Green Bay edged Tampa Bay on the road, 17-14, before returning home to beat Chicago 31-7 and Dallas 23-13.

The Packers failed to make it four-in-a-row though, as a walk-off field goal condemned them to a 20-17 defeat in Detroit.

Verdict

Green Bay left Detroit with a defeat and a sour taste in their mouths, but we expect them to bounce back on Thursday night.

The Packers’ defense is in excellent form despite that loss, and the offense can rebound against a Carolina unit that has struggled, especially against the run.
