Falcons at Panthers picks and predictions
Prediction
Falcons 32, Panthers 19
The Falcons (-275) will cost 2.75 times the potential return. That’s way too much risk if you were to back Atlanta on a standalone wager. However, if you were to toss them into a multi-leg parlay with at least 3 to 6 teams, it isn’t a terrible idea.
PASS.
The FALCONS -6 (-110) head into Charlotte with a head of steam, having vanquished divisional foes Tampa Bay and New Orleans the past 2 weeks.
However, last season the Falcons went to Carolina as 2.5-point favorites and lost 9-7 in Week 15. As a matter of a fact, Panthers have won and covered the past 2 home games against the Falcons
Carolina is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings vs. Atlanta. So, be careful, as these divisional games can sometimes be tight, even when they’re not expected to be.
OVER 47 (-110) is a decent play as Atlanta’s offense has been moving the ball well lately, and Carolina’s defense ranks last in points allowed at 33.0 points per game (PPG). It’s a great recipe for an Over play.
Know that you’ll be going against the series trends, as the total has gone Under in 3 straight meetings, while cashing in 4 of the past 5 meetings in Charlotte.
However, this season, which carries a lot more weight, the Falcons have cashed Overs in both of their divisional games, while the Panthers have hit Overs in 4 of 5 games, with the defense allowing 26 or more points in both home games, and 35.0 PPG in the past 2 contests.
