The Atlanta Falcons have gotten off to a horrendous 1-6 start to the NFL season. One bright spot is that the Falcons have won five of their last seven road games. The offense is led by Matt Ryan with 2,181 passing yards, to go with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones have teamed up 1,062 receiving yards and have scored eight touchdowns. The Falcons rushing attack is putting up 105.4 rushing yards a game, led by Todd Gurley II with 485 yards and seven touchdowns. On the defensive side, they are giving up 29.6 points and 425.9 yards a game.

The Carolina Panthers are looking for consistency after splitting their last six games. The Panthers have lost six of their last seven home games. The offense is led by Teddy Bridgewater with 1,930 passing yards, to go with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. The Panthers rushing attack is putting up 105.4 yards a game, led by Mike Davis with 284 yards and two scores. Robby Anderson and DJ Moore have teamed up for 1,207 receiving yards and four touchdowns. On the defensive side, they are giving up 24 points and 351.1 yards per game.

The Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The home team is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 meetings. The Falcons remain one of the worst defensive teams in the league, ranked 31st in total yards and passing yards. Bridgewater has been very consistent under center for the Panthers and they have started to get their run game going behind Mike Davis. Atlanta has blown a lot of fourth-quarter leads but the Panthers won't have to worry about coming back as they take control of this game early.

Play on Carolina.
