Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers | Picks & Predictions NFL Week 15 | Saturday Football

Saturday Football Week 15 Matchup – Panthers vs. Packers December 19th, 2020, 8.15pm EDT, Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin Rachael Van Oranje and Jeff Reinebold preview this game and give us their NFL picks. The Green Bay Packers will look to stay in control of the No. 1 seed in the NFC when they host the Carolina Panthers on Saturday night. The visitors can make this a closer contest than people expect. Despite being 10-3, we're still not sold on the Packers being a legitimate candidate for the Super Bowl. After all, they’ve beaten just one team with a winning record this season and looked unconvincing in losses to Indianapolis and Minnesota last month. They were also decimated by Tampa Bay in October. But even recently they’ve had their struggles, having last week let the Lions back into the game before holding on to win 31-24. There is no doubt this team is hot on offense–especially with Aaron Rodgers continuing to light it up–but I’m not sure their defense is up to holding off a Panthers team that has put up 27 points in each of its last two games. Christian McCaffrey probably won’t return (listed as doubtful), but Mike Davis has proven an adequate replacement all year long and can also do damage. The Packers have allowed the eighth-most yards per carry in the NFL this season and the Panthers’ backfield has the ability to shred that defense. It’s a big ask for Carolina to win this game, but expect them to keep this within a score. Freezing temperatures and snow showers are forecast in Green Bay on Saturday, but even with that considered I still think this one goes over the total. Rodgers has been playing in these sorts of conditions for years, and with the Packers’ offense firing on all cylinders lately, we can’t see them stopping now. Even if they do turn to their run game, the tandem backfield of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams is more than capable of dealing damage to the Panthers. Even without McCaffrey the Panthers have been much better than people expected this season. The over has cashed in four of Carolina’s last five games, and with Green Bay’s offensive talent thrown into the mix we think we see the same again here. Who do you like?
