Panthers vs. Packers
Right now, Dontayvion Wicks’s receiving yards prop is set at 49.5 yards (-139/+107).
The public has bet the OVER up to 49.5 (-139) after it opened @ 49.5 (-137).
Pros
- When it comes to protecting the passer (and the strong effect it has on all pass game stats), the O-line of the Green Bay Packers ranks as the 10th-best in football this year.
- As it relates to defensive tackles pass-rushing, Carolina’s collection of DTs has been lousy this year, projecting as the 3rd-worst in the NFL.
Cons
- With a 3.5-point advantage, the Packers are favored in this game, implying more of a reliance on rushing than their typical approach.
- The projections expect the Packers to run the 7th-fewest total plays among all teams this week with 63.1 plays, given their underlying traits and game dynamics.
- The 9th-smallest volume of plays in football have been called by the Packers this year (a mere 56.1 per game on average).
- Opposing quarterbacks teams have been hesitant to lean on the pass against the Panthers, averaging the fewest attempts in the NFL (a lowly 29.9 per game) this year.
- This year, the fierce Panthers defense has conceded a feeble 116.0 adjusted receiving yards per game versus opposing WRs: the 2nd-best in football.
