Packers run away with it, 49-21

THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Panthers	-8.6	-1.3	-7.3	-3
Packers	+5.8	-1.9	+7.8	+10

SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.
