The Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers betting odds opened at Green Bay -3. This line has not moved at all the entire week.
Both teams are bouncing off of disappointing road losses the week before. But here is a pretty solid stat to ponder: The Carolina Panthers are 6-0 ATS following a Straight Up loss. In other words, this is a team that has proven it can rebound time and time again. The Packers, though 8-2 ATS following a Straight Up loss, are also 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 games at home against a team with a winning record.
Carolina (8-3) was pushed around in a 45-28 loss at Atlanta last Sunday, allowing the most points in coach John Fox's seven seasons guiding the Panthers. Despite the outcome, Fox won't panic knowing his team is tied for the NFC South lead with Tampa Bay, and currently owns the conference's top wild-card spot.
"I'm sure glad we were more emotionally and technically right in eight of them than the other three (games)," Fox said. "The other team practices, too, and it's hard to win all of them."
Green Bay (5-6), meanwhile, lost 51-29 at New Orleans on Monday night one week after beating the Bears 37-3 at home. More importantly, the loss dropped the Packers out of first place in the NFC North, in which it now trails co-leaders Chicago and Minnesota by one game.
It was the most points allowed by Green Bay since a 51-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 21, 1980.
"Five games to play, we're not out of anything," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "It's right in front of us. We need to win football games. We know that. That's our focus."
These two teams have pretty much split wins over the last 10 games played against once another. We like the Carolina Panthers at +3 in this one.
