Thursday Night Football is Carolina at Green Bay, 8:15 PM ET on Prime Video. The Packers are favored at home, and both teams are thin up front. Don-K did the homework.

| Total | 47.5 | 47.5 |
| Kick | 8:15 PM ET | Prime Video |

Can Carolina's line hold?
Carolina is missing two guards, D. Lewis (knee) and T. Simpkins III (ankle), plus LB J. Phillips (hamstring). B. Brown III (DT, hand) is questionable. That is a lot of pressure to ask Bryce Young to play through.
Green Bay has its own holes. T. Glover (OT, knee) and S. Rhyan (C, ankle) are out, OLB Z. Franklin is out, and B. Cox Jr., A. Campbell, D. Wyatt and WR M. Golden are all questionable. Statuses are from CBS Sports as of 11:30 AM ET, and they can change before kick.
Don-K's plays for tonight
Darren Waller over 19.5 receiving yards (Love)
Over 19.5 rec yds. This is a low bar in a game with a high total. The risk is a thin target share.
Tetairoa McMillan over 69.5 receiving yards (Like)
Over 69.5 rec yds. He is Carolina's top target in a game where the Panthers may be chasing points. The risk is a thin Carolina line.
Bryce Young over 249.5 passing yards (Lean)
Over 249.5 pass yds. A trailing script should add pass volume. The risk is pressure behind a thin line.
Green Bay wins at home and covers 3.5, and the game lands under the total. Carolina throws to catch up, which is why I like the passing plays.
