We are dogs right now.

Green Bay goes into Denver as favorites, lose, and then comes to Charlotte as two and a half point favorites according to Vegas. Even though it's the Packers, I have to say that with the respective defenses and offenses playing as they are, I'd think that we would have the edge.  It's just par for the course, I guess. Anyway, if it's not bulletin board material for our team---especially our defense---it's certainly a side note to me as a fan. 

Go get em', Panthers!

I'd prefer to say we are "black cats", but yeah, I'll take the underdog role for this team anytime we can get it from Vegas, the media, or Donald Trump, or any other ass clown...

7-0 Keep Pounding Bitches

Go lay some money and move the line!

You do understand how Vegas works ??

if we were giving the Pack points.........

75% or more of betters would be taking them

Not my forte,  but it sounds to me like with a line so relatively small that Vegas is basically minimizing any gains or losses by trying to minimize bets on this contest.

For me,  it's just the principle.  The last game that I bet on was Super Bowl XX.  I remember my friend leaving at halftime to walk to the student union to get my $20 from the ATM. He had the audacity to bet against the '85 Bears.

I just realized, since 2012, the packers are 13-14 on the road, Over the same period they are 26-5 at home (including 13 wins in a row), if you are gonna beat the packers, the road is the place to do it.  This is a huge game for us, it would give us a 2 game lead on EVERYONE in the NFC, our home fans are gonna be big for us.  I like our run game vs their run defense, Love having Norman lock down Cobb, and our backers preventings anything underneath.  Just like all games, it won't be pretty, but I think in the end we will get a W, like 24-20.

Key to winning this game is to keep it close. Let greenbay grind along. U dont want rodgers to have to start slinging the ball to play catch up. He gets into a rhythm then the panthers are in trouble. Let them believe their dink and dunk and run game is working then shut it down in the 4th.

[Cary Kollins]

I'm not confident enough at this point to take Carolina.

If anything, it appears the line may move more in Green Bay's "favor"....according to oddshark.com most of the money is on GB right now:

Green Bay Carolina

-2.5    %64 +2.5   %36

to get respect, we gotta earn it. simple.

Quite a few people I have talked to really think our defense was exposed Monday night. Our D is much better than last year....still give up the occasional long run for a td... 

They use the rain as an excuse for Luck , but discount it for our defense. They were worn out but found enough to win. This defense is getting ready to dominate even more over the next 3 months.

This can't be stated enough.  

A win this week gives us a two game lead over everybody in the loss column and essentially puts us three games up on Green Bay (8-0 vs 6-2, plus the head to head tie breaker which comes first when determining playoff seeding amongst conference teams).

I know there is half a season to be played following this game, but we would essentially be 3 games up on our stoutest competition for home field advantage with 8 games remaining (and before anyone brings it up, i'm not hating on Arizona....go take a look at their schedule.  They finish out at Seattle in prime time, hosting Cincy in primetime, at San Fran, at St. Louis, hosting Minnesota on a short week, at Philly, hosting Green Bay, and then hosting Seattle).  It's not out of the question that they finish 4-4)

If everyone is betting on GB the line will move in our favor.

Carolina +3.5 would get more money bet against GB.

vegas wants an even split on bets......they just want the juice.
