Let’s get into this game where the NFL odds currently have the Panthers as -3 point favorites at the +100 price and the over/under at 49 total points.

As of now, 62 percent of the betting public have their money behind the Carolina Panthers as the home favorites.

Atlanta comes into this game after a nightmare week 7 loss to the Lions. The Falcons were up 6 with a minute left and they managed to let Matt Stafford lead a 75 yard drive to beat them. But no one is shocked, it’s the Falcons being the Falcons. Hopefully they can bounce back and at least give us an entertaining Thursday Night game. Last week, Matt Ryan threw for 338 passing yards and a touchdown and running back Todd Gurley put up 63 yards on the ground with two touchdowns. The Falcons still have it offensively, but they’ll be facing this Carolina defense who at home are ranked 10th in the league, only give up an aver of 190 passing yards per game. Atlanta is ranked 13th in the NFL putting up an average of 26.3 points per game and their defense is ranked 26th in the league, giving up an average of 29.6 points per game.

Atlanta are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Carolina and the total has gone under in 6 of the Falcons last 7 games when playing on the road against Carolina.

Carolina comes into this game after a 27-24 road loss to the Saints last Sunday where Teddy Bridgewater played impressive going 23 of 28 for 254 yards and 2 touchdowns, but their run game was no where to be found. On the ground they had 14 carries for a miserable 37 rushing yards. But there’s hope on the way, since there’s news that Christian McCaffrey is back practicing, but his status is still unknown for this matchup. Atlanta is currently ranked near the bottom in the NFL against the pass with 333.4 passing yards allowed per game, so Bridgewater should be able to have another impressive game.

Carolina is ranked 25th in the league, scoring an average of 23.1 points per game and their defense is ranked 13th in the NFL giving up an average of 24 points per game.

Carolina are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and the total has gone over in 5 of the Panthers last 6 games against an opponent in the NFC South.
