Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 11/02/25

The Green Bay Packers enter this one rolling after their big win over Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers on Sunday Night Football, and will look to keep it going here against the Carolina Panthers, who appear to be getting Bryce Young back for this one. Young practiced fully this week, and appears set to return after a brief absence. For several reasons, I’m not optimistic about how his return will go. Young on the road at Lambeau at less than 100 percent health against a talented Green Bay defense led by Micah Parsons is a recipe for disaster.

Young almost always struggles with pressure, and with Rashan Gary and Parsons the Packers have quite the pass-rushing duo. Those two combined to sack Rodgers 3 times last week, and almost got him a bunch of other times. 4 of Green Bay’s 5 wins this season have come by 9+ points, so I’m not worried about their ability to run up the score against an inferior opponent like the Panthers. There was some talk that Carolina was much improved this season, but I was never buying it. 3 of their 4 wins this year were by extremely narrow margins against Dolphins, Cowboys and Jets teams that were struggling mightily, and the other was against the Falcons who they always randomly play well against.

Reality came crashing in last week when they were demolished at home by 31 points by a Bills team that certainly hasn’t looked unstoppable this year. Besides Tetairoa McMillan, there are virtually no pass-catchers to speak of on the roster. In fact, no other Panthers player has more than 159 yards receiving through 8 games, which is pretty insane. And McMillan is a rookie who has by no means been dominant and can’t be counted on to carry literally the entire load for the passing game. I don’t see many reasons to believe this one will be close.
