TIME CHANGE: The NFL’s moving to winter hours — kickoff times Green Bay Packers vs. Carolina Panthers are now one hour earlier!
Game Overview
The undefeated-at-home Green Bay Packers (5-1-1) welcome the Carolina Panthers (4-4) to Lambeau Field on Sunday, November 2, 2025, for a Week 9 NFC showdown. Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. CT). This matchup pits Jordan Love’s high-flying Packers offense against a Panthers squad looking to build momentum under Bryce Young. Green Bay enters on a three-game win streak, fresh off a 35-25 road victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, where Love threw for 360 yards and earned NFC Player of the Week honors. Carolina, meanwhile, snapped a two-game skid with a gritty win over the Giants last week but faces a tough test against Green Bay’s No. 1-ranked NFC seed.
Key Matchups to Watch:
- Packers Offense vs. Panthers Defense: Green Bay averages 359.1 yards and 27.6 points per game (6.1 yards per play), exploiting Carolina’s secondary that allows 310 yards but struggles with big plays (5.7 yards per play allowed). Love’s deep-ball accuracy could feast on Panthers CBs Donte Jackson and Jaycee Horn.
- Panthers Offense vs. Packers Defense: Carolina scores just 19.3 points per game, and Green Bay’s front seven—bolstered by Micah Parsons’ pass rush (NFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 7)—has held foes to 21.4 points. Bryce Young’s protection issues (ranked bottom-5 in sacks allowed) will be exposed against Parsons and co.
- Rookie Spotlight: Keep an eye on Packers WR Matthew Golden, who’s on pace for a historic rookie season (projected 51 catches, 614 yards), matching legends like Davante Adams in efficiency despite modest targets.
Injury Report (as of October 29):
- Packers: WR Christian Watson (knee) limited; WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) DNP. No major concerns for Love or Parsons.
- Panthers: RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) questionable; EDGE Brian Burns (hamstring) full practice.
Betting Odds (via BetMGM):
- Spread: Packers -13.5 (-110) | Panthers +13.5 (-110)
- Over/Under: 48.5
- Moneyline: Packers -650 | Panthers +450 ESPN Analytics gives Green Bay a 76.3% win probability.
Prediction: Packers dominate at home, 34-17. Love throws for 300+ yards and 3 TDs, while Parsons adds a sack. Green Bay extends its streak to four, solidifying NFC North lead. Carolina covers if Young avoids turnovers, but Lambeau’s chill (forecast: 48°F, partly cloudy) favors the hosts.
