2019 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 10
Carolina Panthers (5-3) at Green Bay Packers (7-2)
Sunday, November 10, 4:25PM ET
If there’s anyone who can bounce back from that train wreck of a Week 9 performance, it’s Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. I’m not sure why they crashed against the Chargers this past Sunday, but I’m going to consider it a fluke until we see more evidence of the Packers’ collapse.
Now admittedly this won’t be the easiest game for Green Bay to turn it around. The Panthers have been an impressive bunch this season, between the MVP-esque performance of Christian McCaffrey and their ninth-ranked pass defense that currently leads the league in sacks. You better believe they’ll be ready to give the Packers a run for their money.
And yet, I believe Rodgers and Co. are up to the challenge. Prior to last week’s meltdown, Rodgers was making a midseason run at the MVP award. On top of his efforts, the Packers have been getting some sensational play from their duo of young running backs. While the Green Bay defense hasn’t been as good down the stretch as it was to start the season, it’s still a talented bunch.
The Panthers will do everything in their power to make it a game until the end. Unfortunately, the lack of an All-Pro quarterback will cost them in the end, as Rodgers orchestrates a late-game drive to take the lead for good.
Prediction: Packers win 28-27
