The Green Bay Packers look to keep the celebratory momentum alive following the Milwaukee Brewers' historic World Series victory as they host the Carolina Panthers in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season. The matchup kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field.

After a three-game winning streak, the Packers (4-3) suffered a narrow loss to the Detroit Lions (20-17) in Week 7, marking their first defeat in four games. Josh Jacobs, making his season debut, rushed for 36 yards and caught five passes for 55 yards, including a touchdown that initially put Green Bay ahead.

Conversely, the Panthers (3-3) are seeking redemption after a crushing 43-13 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite their struggles, Carolina boasts a formidable defense, ranking sixth in the NFL against the pass, but they must now face Jordan Love, who has accumulated 1,958 passing yards this season.

Historically, the Packers have the upper hand, winning 11 of 18 encounters, but the Panthers secured a surprising victory last season with a last-minute field goal.

In terms of betting, the Packers are favored by 3.5 points. Recent trends show Green Bay winning their last two home games by double digits, while the Panthers have performed well on the road, winning two of three games.
