Panthers vs. Packers Anytime TD Scorer Picks for Thursday Night Football – October 29

After going 8-9 a season ago, the Panthers have come right back to flirt with the .500 mark and are an even 3-3 coming into TNF. Head coach Dave Canales’ crew continues to see improved play from QB Bryce Young (yes, even after a rough outing) and enters Week 8 ranking seventh in points per drive.

It’s the other side of the ball that’s been Carolina’s bugaboo in 2026. Ejiro Evero’s unit allows more rushing yards, rushing TDs, and yards per carry than anyone in the sport, which allows offenses to maintain possession and control games on occasion.

Taking the field on the other sideline are the Packers, who dug themselves out of an early 1-2 hole to win three of their last four games. Green Bay’s defense has been somewhat respectable this campaign — it’s Matt LaFleur’s offense that’s surprisingly not living up to the hype.

According to RBSDM, the Pack sit 17th in EPA per play (-0.001), largely stemming from an anemic rushing offense that’s dead last in EPA/carry (-0.291). It’s expected that the return of RB Josh Jacobs can have a positive impact as he keeps ramping up his workload following his regular-season debut in Week 7.

There are plenty of options for Panthers vs. Packers touchdown scorer picks, but a select group of three players might just be in the best positions to succeed.

Anytime TDs on PrizePicks include rushing, receiving, recoveries, and returns. PrizePicks often list Anytime TDs as Demons and Goblins, meaning users can only select "More." For standard projections, users can select “More” or “Less.”

Demons are tougher to win but are the only way to get higher payouts. Meanwhile, Goblins are lower than a standard projection, but they are easier to win, so there’s a lower payout.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard vs. Packers: 0.5 Anytime TDs

• Hubbard has scored a TD in two of his last three games. In contests against the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, he combined for 50 touches, 250 yards from scrimmage, and 3 TDs.
• The 27-year-old’s 57.3% rush success rate is easily the highest of his career, as is his 50.0% receiving success rate. 
• Hubbard is tied for 16th among all players in red-zone rushing share with a 52.0% mark, via 4for4.
• Hubbard is coming off a game in which he recorded a season-high 20.0% target share in the passing game.
• Only one team, the New Orleans Saints, has surrendered more rushing TDs to the RB position than the Packers with 9.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan vs. Packers: 0.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)

• Over his last three games, McMillan is averaging 10.3 targets, 8 receptions, and 106.0 yards per contest.

• According to nfelo, Carolina owns football’s second-highest pass rate over expected at +4.2%. If that trends holds, it could mean significant volume for McMillan once again.

• Courtesy of NFL Pro, McMillan averages 3.0 YPRR against split-safety coverages. The Packers opt for that at a 60.0% clip, ranking third in the sport.
