Green Bay goes into Denver as favorites, lose, and then comes to Charlotte as two and a half point favorites according to Vegas. Even though it's the Packers, I have to say that with the respective defenses and offenses playing as they are, I'd think that we would have the edge.  It's just par for the course, I guess. Anyway, if it's not bulletin board material for our team---especially our defense---it's certainly a side note to me as a fan. 

Go get em', Panthers!

You do understand how Vegas works ??

if we were giving the Pack points.........

75% or more of betters would be taking them

Not my forte,  but it sounds to me like with a line so relatively small that Vegas is basically minimizing any gains or losses by trying to minimize bets on this contest.

For me,  it's just the principle.  The last game that I bet on was Super Bowl XX.  I remember my friend leaving at halftime to walk to the student union to get my $20 from the ATM. He had the audacity to bet against the '85 Bears.

I just realized, since 2012, the packers are 13-14 on the road, Over the same period they are 26-5 at home (including 13 wins in a row), if you are gonna beat the packers, the road is the place to do it.  This is a huge game for us, it would give us a 2 game lead on EVERYONE in the NFC, our home fans are gonna be big for us.  I like our run game vs their run defense, Love having Norman lock down Cobb, and our backers preventings anything underneath.  Just like all games, it won't be pretty, but I think in the end we will get a W, like 24-20.

Key to winning this game is to keep it close. Let greenbay grind along. U dont want rodgers to have to start slinging the ball to play catch up. He gets into a rhythm then the panthers are in trouble. Let them believe their dink and dunk and run game is working then shut it down in the 4th.

Quite a few people I have talked to really think our defense was exposed Monday night. Our D is much better than last year....still give up the occasional long run for a td... 

They use the rain as an excuse for Luck , but discount it for our defense. They were worn out but found enough to win. This defense is getting ready to dominate even more over the next 3 months.

This can't be stated enough.  

A win this week gives us a two game lead over everybody in the loss column and essentially puts us three games up on Green Bay (8-0 vs 6-2, plus the head to head tie breaker which comes first when determining playoff seeding amongst conference teams).

I know there is half a season to be played following this game, but we would essentially be 3 games up on our stoutest competition for home field advantage with 8 games remaining (and before anyone brings it up, i'm not hating on Arizona....go take a look at their schedule.  They finish out at Seattle in prime time, hosting Cincy in primetime, at San Fran, at St. Louis, hosting Minnesota on a short week, at Philly, hosting Green Bay, and then hosting Seattle).  It's not out of the question that they finish 4-4)

I'm not confident enough at this point to take Carolina.

If anything, it appears the line may move more in Green Bay's "favor"....according to oddshark.com most of the money is on GB right now:

Green Bay
Carolina
-2.5    %64
+2.5   %36
   

If everyone is betting on GB the line will move in our favor.

Carolina +3.5 would get more money bet against GB.

vegas wants an even split on bets......they just want the juice.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
