If you are a fan of the Atlanta Falcons, you have to be concerned about the offense. The Falcons rose on the arm of Matt Ryan in 2016, which was a breakout year for him. The Falcons went all the way to the Super Bowl, averaging 34.1 points per game. Last year the regression seemed to really enter into the picture, as they went from 34.1 ppg to 21.6 ppg. That is just shy of two TDs per game. It may be even worse, because in their last seven games dating back to last season, the Falcons' offense has gone from elite to poor, averaging a paltry 17.7 ppg. Their 12-point showing in Philly is concerning. Meanwhile, the Panthers were holding Dallas to eight points, but more importantly just 232 total yards. The Atlanta offense, combined with a solid Carolina defense, with the visiting dog getting a small bundle shows some significant value. Grab the points on Carolina.
