The Green Bay Packers re-established their dominance in Week 8, crushing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half of their Sunday Night Football showdown.

The Packers are in a great spot to build on their momentum when they face the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 action. The Panthers are coming off a crushing defeat to the Buffalo Bills last week, but are likely in over their heads for a second-straight week.

Panthers vs. Packers Key Player to Watch

  • Jordan Love, QB - Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love has put himself in the MVP conversation at this point of the season. He has completed 70.9% of passes for 256.9 yards per game, 13 touchdowns, and only two interceptions. He continues to perform at that level despite having an injured receiving core and a rookie receiver in Matthew Golden who has failed to live up to his preseason hype. He should have a field day against this Panthers defense.

Panthers vs. Packers Prediction and Pick

In the Week 9 edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I have no problem laying the points with the Packers:

The Panthers aren't nearly as good as people thought they were after a few wins against bad teams, and they proved that when they were steamrolled by the Bills last week, the first elite team they've faced this season. Now, they have a second straight game against an elite opponent, and I don't think things will go well for them.

The Packers are first in the NFL in Net Yards per Play (+1.3), while also ranking sixth in DVOA, and second in EPA. I think they're a top-five team in the league and Green Bay will prove that on Sunday.
