The Carolina Panthers come in at 1-12 and unfortunately, they don’t own the No. 1 draft pick in the upcoming draft. The Atlanta Falcons come in at 6-7 and are hungry for a win. The Buccaneers, Falcons, and Saints are tied for the NFC South so all games count for the Falcons. Atlanta will rely on their defense which ranks 12th in scoring at 20.7 points per game. They give up 3.9 yards per rush (10th) and 6.6 yards per pass attempt (8th) which will be tough for the struggling Panthers offense to overcome. Atlanta's offense scored just 15 points last week and has exceeded 20 points in four of their past five games. On the season, they have put up 19.3 points a game as they have spent the season trying to find a consistent quarterback. Carolina’s offense has struggled to integrate a rookie into an offense with no weapons or offensive line. They are putting up just 15.2 points per game and have failed to score a touchdown in 3 games this season. The Panthers' defense spends too much time on the field and gets tired late. They have given up 26.2 points per game. The Falcons score 19.3 points per game and should find success against a Panther defense that allows 26.2 points per game. The Falcons took the first game of the season by 14 and I can't see how Carolina has made significant improvement. Only two teams score fewer points than the Panthers. I look for Atlanta to move the ball on the ground with Robinson and pick their spots through the air. Take Atlanta to win this game.

Play on Atlanta. This is a 5% play.
