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.
