Carolina at Atlanta

A divisional battle in an NFC South Division that anybody can win as all four teams have losing records. Carolina's defense was one of the best in the NFL last year and led the way last week in a 21-3 win over Tampa Bay as a +13 dog. They held Tom Brady and the Bucs to 2-of-12 on third down while the offense ran for 173 yards. Carolina is 74-50 ATS against teams that allow 24+ points per game. The Panthers match up well against a one-dimensional Atlanta offense that is all-running behind QB Marcus Mariota, with the Falcons second-to-last in passing. And the Atlanta defense is the worst in the league on third-down (48.31%). They come off a 35-17 loss to Cincinnati and are 7-19 ATS at home after allowing 35 or more points, plus 3-11 ATS at home versus the NFC. Carolina has covered the last four meetings between these teams, including winning the last two straight up on this field, 19-13 and 23-16. Play Carolina.
