The Green Bay Packers have clinched the NFC North title and will claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs if they win their final three regular-season games. As such, there is not a surprise that we find the Packers as a rather sizable home favorite against the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. I do however think the Panthers will keep this closer than the betting market would make you believe.

The Packers had trouble to take care of business against Detroit last week, and here they'll face a Carolina side that has put up 27 points in back-to-back games and three of the Panthers' past four losses have been decided by a total of eight points.

Carolina's star RB Christian McCaffrey (quad) is listed as doubtful. If he goes it's a bonus, but I like the Panthers to keep it within one score even without him.

8* play on Carolina Panthers.
