The Carolina Panthers visit the Green Bay Packers for NFL Week 8's Thursday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET, matching two NFC playoff teams from last season. Both offenses rank in the top five in passing, led by quarterbacks Jordan Love and Bryce Young. Receivers Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tetairoa McMillan all rank among the top 11 in receiving yards.
The matchup also features a clash between Green Bay's last-ranked rushing offense and Carolina's last-ranked run defense. Running backs Josh Jacobs and Chuba Hubbard have prop lines of 58.5 and 71.5 rushing yards respectively, both with -114 odds on over and under.
SportsLine's Machine Learning AI model projects McMillan to exceed 70.5 receiving yards (-113) as a 5-star prop. The second-year wideout ranks 11th with 511 receiving yards despite a bye week, and posted a career-high 192 yards on Sunday Night Football in Week 4. McMillan has cleared his yardage line in four of his last five games as an underdog, and faces a Packers defense that allowed two wideouts to top 90 yards last week. The model averages 95.5 receiving yards for McMillan.
The AI model also identifies nine additional NFL props rated 5 stars or better, several offering plus-money returns. Full same-game parlay picks are available via SportsLine.
