The way the NFC is shaping up this season, this Panthers-Packers matchup could have major playoff implications. The Packers maintain a narrow lead the loaded NFC North. The Panthers are two games back of the Saints in their division, but only a half-game back of the Wild Card. There are seven NFC teams fighting for four postseason births, all within two games of one another.

The Panthers’ Christian McCaffrey leads NFL in touches and yards from scrimmage per game. He’s been a one-man wrecking crew, dismantling many of the best run defenses in the league, including the Texans, Rams and Titans. The Packers’ run defense, on the other hand, is one of the league’s worst. According to DVOA, the Packers will be the easiest run defense he’s faced this season – and he already has six games with more than 150 total yards.

When the Packers have the ball, a key factor is likely to be how Aaron Rodgers handles Davante Adams. When Adams was out with a toe injury, Rodgers’ passer rating improved dramatically. With Adams back in Week 9, it dropped right back down. Part of the problem seems to be an over-dependence on Adams when he is available. Assuming Adams is available for Week 10, will his presence enhance or harm the Packers’ passing game?
