The Panthers and Packers are both looking to recover from losses in Week 7 as they head into Thursday Night Football. The Packers are favored by 3.5 points. Green Bay's defense has been strong recently, ranking second in EPA per play allowed over the last four weeks, while the Panthers' offensive line continues to face challenges.
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has been under pressure on a league-high 44.3 percent of dropbacks against defenses rushing four or fewer players. This situation is compounded by the season-ending injury to starting right tackle Taylor Moton.
Despite the Packers' NFL-worst rushing attack this season, they may find opportunities against the Panthers' defense, which is surrendering a league-high 5.2 yards per carry. This is particularly true with Josh Jacobs expected to be back in the lineup for Green Bay. In their last game, the Panthers allowed 258 rushing yards and three touchdowns to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
