The Green Bay Packers are heavy favorites for their Week 9 meeting with the Carolina Panthers. 

They Packers have lost just once this season, as they sit at the top of the NFC North, but the Panthers are surprisingly still in the race to win their division, only two wins back from the Bucs. 

My Panthers vs. Packers predictions and NFL picks believe that Green Bay will secure the victory and cover in the process.

Early Panthers vs Packers spread pick: Packers -12.5

-108 at FanDuel

Only one win separates the Green Bay Packers and the Carolina Panthers, but in reality, there’s a world of difference.

The Panthers played the Bills on Sunday and got beaten comfortably, losing by 31 points. That was only their second game against a team that currently has a winning record. The other game came against the Patriots, which saw them lose by 29 points.

The Packers have only had two games with double-digit victories so far, but this a team with real quality.

The offense is stacked with talent (seventh in DVOA), and despite having a lot of injuries in the receiving corps, they keep finding ways to win. The defense is ranked eighth in DVOA, and the pass rush looks hugely improved since the Micah Parsons trade, with the former Cowboy looking like the final piece in the puzzle.

With the Packers on their home field, and facing a Panthers team that's much poorer than its record suggests, we should see the home team cover.

Early Panthers vs Packers total pick: Over 43.5

-114 at FanDuel

This isn’t a vintage Panthers offense, they’ve scored just 22 points across the past two weeks and currently sit in the bottom third on offensive DVOA. However, we have seen every single team that have faced the Packers score at least 13 points.

The Over has landed in four of the Packers' seven games, and those four games are the four most recent matchups. Meanwhile, the Over has also landed in five of eight Panthers games, including four of the past five.

The Packers have scored at least 27 points in every game over the past month, despite a long list of injuries, and we should see Jordan Love lead that offense into another high scoring victory.
