Kevin Erickson | Staff Writer

The Green Bay Packers (6-8) and Carolina Panthers (2-12) meet Sunday for a Week 16 game at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's lines around the Packers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Packers have suffered a pair of losses, putting their playoff hopes on life support. Green Bay had won 3 in a row from Weeks 11 through 13 to get back into the postseason picture. The Over is on a 4-0 run for Green Bay while going 5-1 across the past 6 games overall.

The Panthers won an ugly 9-7 game against the Atlanta Falcons in the wind and rain in Charlotte last Sunday. Carolina is still averaging just 7.5 PPG in the past 2 games, and the offense has produced 18 or fewer points in 8 straight outings, with the Under going 7-1 during that span.

Packers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 18, Panthers 12

Moneyline

The Packers (-196) are just a little too risky, costing nearly 2 times your potential return. If it were a few weeks, it might've been worth it, but this is a team coming off 2 straight losses, including a road setback against the lowly Giants in Week 14. In fact, the Panthers (+164) are the team with the most recent win.

PASS.

Against the spread

The PACKERS -4 (-110) is worth a roll of the dice on the road, mainly because the Panthers +4 (-110) offense has struggled so much.

Green Bay is just 3-4 ATS in 7 games on the road this season. The Pack have lost 2 in a row, but the offense has done a decent job. The offense has managed 19 or more points in 7 in a row, while the Panthers +4 (-110) offense has scored 18 or fewer in 8 straight outings, including a total of 16 points in the past 2 games.

Over/Under

UNDER 37.5 (-112) is a strong play. The Panthers can't get out of their own way on offense, and you have to figure this team will struggle once again. The Panthers have cashed the Under in 7 of the past 8 games, and until they start ticking off Over results on the regular, keep thumping the Under in Carolina games.
