Atlanta at Carolina

Premium Pick

We’re getting value with this line. Carolina certainly had a big win against Tampa Bay a couple of weeks ago. But, their offense has been mediocre and this Falcons team scorched them 71-0 in two meetings last year. Granted, that was with Vick, but obviously the rest of the players and coaches know how to play Carolina well. And against an average Jacksonville squad, the Panthers allowed 24 points. Last game Atlanta had to face a very pissed-off Tampa Bay team. That game aside, they have scored 29 ppg against good defenses in Dallas and Washington. Early in the season, teams that were winless in the preseason are good bets (2-1 so far this season). Go with the Falcons.
