Carolina’s No. 4 seed meets Green Bay’s stronger power-index profile in a clash of Chuba Hubbard’s run game and Jordan Love’s passing attack.
Carolina arrives at Lambeau as the No. 4 seed at 3-3, while Green Bay is 4-3 and No. 7, putting early standings position in play. Both teams are 3-2 over their last five games and coming off losses, but Green Bay ranks 13th in the power index, four spots ahead of Carolina at No. 17. The key matchup is Chuba Hubbard’s 459 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns against a Packers defense that has allowed 805 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in seven games. Green Bay’s counter is Jordan Love, who has thrown for 1,958 yards and 13 touchdowns; whether Carolina sustains its ground game and limits that passing threat could decide the night.
