Overview
The Carolina Panthers (3-3) travel to Lambeau Field on Thursday, October 29, 2026 to face the Green Bay Packers (4-3) at 8:15 PM ET on Prime Video. Both teams enter on a one-game skid. Carolina was blown out 13-43 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, while Green Bay dropped a 17-20 decision at the Detroit Lions.
Before that loss, Carolina had won two of three, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 25-14 on the road and the Detroit Lions 32-26 at home, with a 18-21 loss at the Cleveland Browns mixed in. Green Bay has been the steadier club overall, winning three straight before the Detroit loss, including a 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys and a 31-7 rout of the Chicago Bears.
Green Bay is favored by 4.0 with a total of 47.0, and the Packers lead the regular-season series 11-7, winning three of the last four meetings. That history and home-field edge point toward Green Bay, but Carolina has shown it can hang in track meets when Bryce Young gets rolling on the road.
Key players
Bryce Young has a touchdown pass in 15 of his past 16 road games and a 90-plus rating in four of his last five road starts, numbers Carolina needs again under the lights.
Chuba Hubbard has racked up 110-plus scrimmage yards in three of his last four games and is chasing his seventh straight contest with 60-plus scrimmage yards.
Tetairoa McMillan has hit 85-plus receiving yards in three of his last four road games and has five-plus catches in two of his three true road trips this season.
Jordan Love has thrown two or more touchdown passes in six of his seven starts this season and ranks second in the NFL with 1,958 passing yards.
Josh Jacobs turned in 91 scrimmage yards and his third career receiving touchdown in his season debut last week, and he has a rushing touchdown in 10 of his past 11 home games.
Keys to the game
Carolina needs its offensive line to hold up for Bryce Young, with Damien Lewis and Torricelli Simpkins III both listed as not practicing this week at guard.
The Panthers defense has to keep Josh Jacobs out of the end zone near the goal line, given his rushing touchdown in 10 of his last 11 home outings.
Carolina can't repeat the Week 7 collapse against Tampa Bay — Chuba Hubbard and Tetairoa McMillan both need to find room early to keep pace with Green Bay's passing attack.
Fantasy angles
Start Bryce Young (17.5 projected DK points) — his road touchdown streak and history of strong road ratings make him a solid play under the lights.
Start Tetairoa McMillan (15.5) — his road production this season, including three games with 85-plus receiving yards in his last four, backs up the target share.
Start Chuba Hubbard (15.0) — riding a stretch of 110-plus scrimmage yards in three of his last four, he's in line for another heavy workload.
Flex consideration for Jalen Coker (9.0) — he's posted 65-plus receiving yards in two of his last three road games and six-plus catches in three of his last four on the road.
Darren Waller (8.0) projects as a low-end option, though his career-long 50-yard touchdown catch last week and a strong history at Lambeau Field make him worth a look in deeper formats.
Prediction
The market has this one at Green Bay 26, Carolina 22, and that lines up with what both teams have shown — a Packers offense getting Josh Jacobs going in the run game at home against a Panthers team that can move the ball through the air but has had trouble putting full games together. Expect a tight, low-scoring battle decided by whichever defense gets a stop when it matters most near the goal line.
