The Atlanta Falcons are set to visit Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina for an NFC South clash against the Carolina Panthers. The Atlanta Falcons come into this matchup with a 2-7 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent road game against the New Orleans Saints, 26-9. QB Matt Ryan had a solid game through the air for Atlanta as he threw for 182 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 interception. WR Julio Jones was the top target for Ryan and the Falcons as he hauled in 3 catches for 79 yards.

The Atlanta Falcons were solid on the defensive side of the ball against the New Orleans Saints as they held them to 9 points and a total of 310 yards of offense. LB Foyesade Oluokun led the way for the Atlanta defense with 8 tackles. The Falcons were able to get into the New Orleans backfield a handful of times as DT Grady Jarrett contributed 2.5 TFL and 2.5 sacks while DE Vic Beasley Jr. pitched in 1.5 TFL and 1.5 sacks.

The Carolina Panthers come into this matchup with a 5-4 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Green Bay Packers, 24-16. QB Kyle Allen had a solid game through the air for Carolina as he connected on 28 of his 43 pass attempts for 307 yards, 1 TD, and 1 interception. RB Christian McCaffery had a productive game on the ground for the Panthers as he ran for 108 yards and a TD on 20 carries.

The Carolina Panthers struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Green Bay Packers as they allowed them to score 24 points and rack up a total of 388 yards of offense. Safety Eric Reed led the way for the Carolina defense with 8 tackles. DT Gerald McCoy was able to get into the Green Bay backfield a handful of times as the veteran contributed 4 tackles and 2 TFL. CB Donte Jackson had a productive game from the secondary for the Panthers as he pitched in 5 tackles and 3 pass deflections.

The Carolina Panthers have dominated the number at home against the Atlanta Falcons as of recent as they have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 meetings. The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a blowout win against one of the best teams in the NFL, but I don’t assume they can resemble that success again as their defense ranks 28th in the league in points allowed. Carolina has one of the best RBs in the NFL with Christian McCaffery as he 1385 scrimmage yards and 14 TDs, and I just don’t see Atlanta having enough to stop the back. Carolina is coming off a tough loss on the road against the Packers, but they will have an easier task in this one. Final Score Prediction, Carolina Panthers win and cover ATS 31-23.
