Going into Green Bay and playing a game in the cold may be on Christian McCaffrey’s bucket list, but that won’t make upsetting the Packers any easier for the Panthers. As you might expect, most experts are predicting the Packers will come out on top tomorrow.
Here’s a review of the expert picks for this week’s matchup.
ESPN: Packers
Nine out of 10 panelists at ESPN are predicting a win for Green Bay. The only holdout for Carolina is Dan Graziano.
CBS Sports: Packers
Over at CBS, six of eight experts are picking the Packers.
SB Nation: Packers
It’s a sweep for Green Bay at SB Nation, where all 10 of their experts are picking the home team.
NFL.com: Packers
Gregg Rosenthal has the Packers winning a shootout, 33-30.
USA Today: Packers
Another sweep from the national NFL writers at USA Today. All seven of them are going with Green Bay.
We’re going contrarian. The Packers come in 7-2, but they could easily be 5-4 if not for some help from the officials against the Lions and getting to face the Chiefs without Patrick Mahomes. They got crushed by a pathetic Chargers team last week and we think it wasn’t an accident. Their run defense is falling apart and that plays right into the Panthers’ hands.
If Carolina wins the turnover battle, an upset could be in the cards. We’re predicting that’s what will happen. Panthers 24, Packers 23.
