Nice bounce-back spot here for Green Bay, which may actually be a tad undervalued after looking like trash last week. An angry Aaron Rodgers is a scary Aaron Rodgers, and I have no doubt that he has the Packers seething for a get-right performance this week. We have seen Carolina hang around and beat mediocre teams, but they got blasted by the 49ers and edged by the Rams (the latter earlier this season with a healthy Cam Newton under center). Look for Aaron Jones to get going early.
The Packers were exposed a bit in last week’s loss to the Chargers, but I'm looking for their offense to bounce back and score close to their home average of 28 ppg. Kyle Allen and the Panthers have proved to be a tough offense to stop. Their average score this season is 26-25 and they’ve gone Over the total in their last four. Over is the play.
What the Packers did last week was a disgrace. Carolina has a very good defense that can pressure Aaron Rodgers. It's not an easy team to move the ball against. And it doesn't matter what kind of weather it is -- Christian McCaffrey can run in anything. Take the points.
I like jumping on the Packers here coming off an atrocious offensive effort, especially since the offense had been just fine over the first half of the season. It'll be important for the Packers to get back on track heading into their Week 11 bye, and they should have success against a Panthers defense that has been pretty mediocre over its last four games. Carolina is especially bad against the run, so if Green Bay can get an early lead, they should be able to stay ahead by grinding out first downs, and I'm not worried about Kyle Allen rallying for a backdoor cover.
