The Falcons are flying high after a 36-30 home win in overtime against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Week 5 Thursday night game. Atlanta, which covered as a 2.5-point favorite, has won 3 of its past 4 games. Atlanta is 2-0 straight up (SU) in 2 games against NFC South foes, while going 1-1 against the spread (ATS) with a pair of Over results.
The Panthers came alive in Week 3 at the Las Vegas Raiders for a surprising 36-22 win as 5.5-point underdogs, but they’ve sunk back into their losing ways in the past 2 outings. The Chicago Bears, who were 4-point favorites, manhandled the Panthers 36-10 at Soldier Field in Week 5 as Carolina slipped to 1-4 ATS. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for the Panthers, who are 4-1 O/U on the season.

Falcons at Panthers picks and predictions
Prediction
Falcons 32, Panthers 19
Moneyline
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.
Against the spread
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/Under
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.
