Mike Spector's pick: Panthers +3.5

I’m giving a pass to Carolina for last week’s loss, as the Buccaneers have owned that rivalry with an 11-2 record since 2020. Green Bay is much too undisciplined of a team to back on a short week, as it has committed the most penalties (65), roughing the passer penalties (eight), and committed the most drops (18).

LJ Blut's pick: Christian Watson anytime touchdown

Christian Watson is an appealing touchdown scorer pick for Thursday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers, especially after finding the end zone six times this season. His big-play ability makes him a dangerous target whenever Green Bay gets into scoring range, and his speed can create matchup problems for opposing defensive backs.

Liam Fox's pick: Chuba Hubbard Over 14.5 receiving yards

His receiving splits between wins and losses are stark: Hubbard is averaging 31 receiving yards per game in Panthers losses this season. He finished Over this projected total in all three Carolina defeats so far.

Brenden Schaeffer's pick: Tetairoa McMillan Over 5.5 receptions

McMillan has shown to be a volume receiver in matchups that dictate it as a possibility, and this one against the Packers certainly does. Green Bay has allowed 99 receptions to wide receivers on the season, more than any other team in the NFL.
