What the ESPN FPI Says About the Panthers' Chances Against the Packers
The Panthers got back in the win column for the first time in nearly two months on Sunday and just the second time on the season, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 9-7.
Despite the crappy weather conditions, rookie quarterback Bryce Young threw the ball extremely well completing 18-of-24 pass attempts for 167 yards, not throwing an interception. Chuba Hubbard did his thing on the ground adding 87 yards on 22 carries - the same stat line he posted a week ago.
This week's opponent, Green Bay, is coming off the heels of a 34-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home where Baker Mayfield looked like an all-world quarterback. Mayfield finished the game with a perfect passer rating as he went 22/28 for 381 yards and four touchdowns.
According to the ESPN FPI, the Panthers have just a 30.4% chance to win while the Packers have a 69.3% chance.
This is a huge game for Green Bay after dropping two straight. It's an opportunity for them to get back on track against a two-win team and gain some ground in the playoff hunt.
