Callihan, Schuyler: Packers 23, Panthers 10. A victory is desperately needed by Green Bay. You might argue that Carolina is, too, but they aren’t in the running for the playoffs. On Christmas Eve, the Panthers won’t benefit from the same weather that helped them win last week. Jordan Love and company triumph convincingly and depart Charlotte. Packers 17, Panthers 16. Matt Alquiza. The Panthers’ terrible season had a brief moment of optimism last week, though. The club will face off against a struggling Packers team, but they will lose in the end.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Chuba Hubbard and Bryce Young had a big day in a surprise victory over Carolina because the Green Bay defence has been outmatched the whole season. Packers 13, Panthers 20, Desmond Johnson. This is the week that red zone scores are produced by the Panthers’ run game. Jordan Love should be troubled all day by the Panthers defence, which is third in the league in terms of yards allowed per game. Anticipate a solid performance from the Panthers’ running game and defence as Carolina wins two straight games.
