Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Falcons (4-5) visit the Carolina Panthers (2-7) for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff in the Week 10 Thursday Night Football game (Prime Video). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Falcons vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Falcons won a wild 37-34 win in overtime at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against the Panthers in Week 8, but failed to cover as 4.5-point favorites. It was unable to carry over the momentum, losing 20-17 at home to the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend.

Carolina QB PJ Walker hit WR D.J. Moore on a Hail Mary to tie the Falcons 34-34, pending the point after. But Moore took off his helmet in celebration, the Panthers were flagged 15 yards and PK Eddy Pineiro missed the PAT sending the game to OT. Pineiro also missed a game-winning field goal in OT, but the Falcons didn’t.

Falcons at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Falcons 19, Panthers 13

Moneyline

FALCONS (-140) is not a terrible play as moderate favorites, especially since the Panthers (+117) limp in with injuries at some key areas.

Even if the likes of Burns, Jackson and/or Luvu are able to push through injuries to play on defense, Atlanta is still the play.

Against the spread

Play FALCONS -2.5 (-120) is a little on the risky side, simply because the Panthers +2.5 (+100) easily could have won in Atlanta in Week 8.

In addition, RB D’Onta Foreman went over 100 yards with 3 TDs against the Falcons, so that will be an area of focus for the Atlanta defense. It must do better. Carolina has had questions at quarterback all season, and it looked to have temporarily answered those questions with Walker’s solid showing in Atlanta. However, he was brutal in a loss in Cincinnati last week, and Baker Mayfield came on. A quarterback turnstile is not good for consistency, and Atlanta’s situation is much more stable.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-105) is the play here, and might be the best on the board.

Atlanta and Carolina combined for 71 total points in Week 8, and that’s unlikely to occur outdoors, especially with the potential early effects of Tropical Storm Nicole affecting the entire Southeastern United States.

The forecast for the greater Charlotte area calls for a 100 percent chance of rain for Thursday night, with winds gusting 10-20 mph. That will keep the offenses mostly ground-based, and running runs the clock, which Under bettors love.

Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (2-6) are on the road in Week 9 to face the Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) on Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers lost 37-34 in overtime to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8, but covered as 4.5-points underdogs. RB D’Onta Foreman has 236 rushing yards and 3 TDs in the last 2 games following the trade of RB Christian McCaffrey.

The Bengals were blown out 32-13 by the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 as they failed to cover as 3-point favorites on the road. Cincinnati will be without WR Ja’Marr Chase for a 2nd straight game, which limits the offense’s ability to create big plays in the passing game.

Panthers at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 24, Panthers 20

Moneyline

Given the massive odds in favor of the Bengals, I’ll PASS on betting on the moneyline in this game. Taking Cincinnati to win at home will net you nearly nothing in return, so it isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

PANTHERS +7.5 (-117) is where I’ll be going in this game with the struggles that Cincinnati’s offense could have with Chase sidelined. Meanwhile, Carolina has been much more competitive with coach Steve Wilks following the firing of Matt Rhule.

The Panthers have covered the spread in 2 straight games and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings against the Bengals.

Over/Under

Give me OVER 42.5 (-110) as I believe these teams can hit the low total despite the struggles from both offenses we’ve seen at times this season. The Bengals have enough weapons in WR Tee Higgins, WR Tyler Boyd, and RB Joe Mixon to score a decent number of points on Sunday.

The Over is 4-0 in Carolina’s last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record.

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (2-5) and Atlanta Falcons (3-4) play a Week 8 game Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Falcons odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers picked up a stunning 21-3 home win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, covering as 13-point underdogs. It snapped an 0-3 SU/ATS skid. Carolina hits the road for the 3rd time this season, going 0-2 SU/ATS so far away from Bank of America Stadium.

The Falcons have won just 3 games outright, but last week’s non-cover in a 35-17 loss at the Cincinnati Begansl as 6.5-point underdogs was their 1st after opening the season 6-0 ATS. The Over result in Week 7 snapped a 3-0 run to the Under, too.

Panthers at Falcons picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 23, Falcons 20

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (+175) are a value play in Sunday’s trip to meet the Falcons.

Carolina is coming off an impressive and shocking win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last time out. Interim coach Steve Wilks picked up his 1st win of the season, using a combination of running and defense to get the job done.

While Hubbard is out for Carolina, journeyman RB D’Onta Foreman went over 100 yards last week, and can more than do the job. The road team has won 4 in a row, and 6 of the past 7, in this series.

Against the spread

The PANTHERS +4.5 (-115) is quite a big number considering these teams aren’t that much different.

All of the trends for Carolina look ugly, including its 4-10 ATS mark in the past 14 trips to Atlanta, and its 2-7 ATS record in the previous 9 overall in the series. But again, the road team dominates, going 4-0 ATS in the past four meetings, and the underdog has cashed in 4 in a row.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-105) is lean, but only go with a half-unit or lower here, as confidence is not terribly high.

The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 divisional games for Carolina and is 5-1 in its last 6 overall.

While the Under is 6-2 in Atlanta’s past 8 home games, the Over has hit in 7 of its last 10 inside the division, including its only divisional home game to date in Week 1 against New Orleans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3) are set to face the Carolina Panthers (1-5) on Sunday in Week 7 at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Buccaneers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Buccaneers suffered a surprising 20-18 loss in Week 6 at the Pittsburgh Steelers as 10-point favorites. Tampa Bay will lean on RB Leonard Fournette as he’s totaled 575 scrimmage yards and 4 total touchdowns in the first 6 weeks of the season.

The Panthers are on a 3-game losing skid. They’ve lost by a combined score of 87-41 over that span, most recently a 24-10 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams as 10-point underdogs in Week 6. QB PJ Walker is expected to start for the 2nd straight game and Carolina just traded RB Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers so RBs D’Onta Foreman and Chubba Hubbard are set to handle the backfield duties.

Buccaneers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Panthers 13

Moneyline

Don’t even think about taking Tampa Bay (-710) straight up because of the steep odds, so PASS on the moneyline in this game. There is too much risk given the minimal return you’ll get if they come away with a victory.

Against the spread

BUCCANEERS -12.5 (-115) is where I’m going in this game with Tampa Bay coming off a disappointing loss. Meanwhile, the Panthers are going to have a backup quarterback, a hobbled secondary, and they just traded McCaffrey.

The Buccaneers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 road meetings against the Panthers and they are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 overall meetings against the Panthers.

Over/Under

OVER 39.5 (-108) seems a bit low considering that the Buccaneers could score enough points themselves to basically reach the Over. This is a perfect week for QB Tom Brady and the passing game to get on track with the Panthers overhauling their roster and coaching staff.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between Tampa Bay and Carolina.

Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (1-4) will head across the country this weekend to take on the Los Angeles Rams (2-3) at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff on Sunday will be at 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX) in Inglewood. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers have sandwiched their Week 3 win with losses in Weeks 1 and 2 and in Weeks 4 and 5. Things will get even more challenging this Sunday with QB Baker Mayfield out with an ankle injury. Additionally, the team fired Matt Rhule and promoted Steve Wilks to interim coach. Perhaps that’s the change this stagnant team needs to provide a spark this season before things get even worse.

The Rams have also dropped 2 games in a row, losing to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. Los Angeles has only scored 1 TD in its last 2 games and ranks 4th-worst in points scored this season – a stark contrast from the Sean McVay-led offense we’re used to seeing. Injuries have plagued the Rams, particularly on the offensive line, which has led to some serious struggles in the passing game, as well as the rushing attack.

Panthers at Rams picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 21, Panthers 17

Moneyline

Right off the bat, I’ll say that I’m not willing to bet either side of the money line. The Rams’ line is way too juiced at -500 for a team that looks anemic on offense. And for the Panthers, we just don’t know what we’re going to get with Wilks and QB P.J. Walker taking over.

I’ll PASS on the money line and bet on the spread instead.

Against the spread

The Rams have covered the spread only once this season, starting the year 1-4 ATS. They’ve been blown out in the last 2 weeks, too, each time by the opponent’s backup quarterback: Jimmy Garoppolo and Cooper Rush.

Walker has won both of his NFL starts with the Panthers and while I don’t expect him to lead Carolina to an outright win, the Panthers are capable of covering a 9.5-point spread in what’s expected to be a low-scoring game. Take the PANTHERS +9.5 (+100).

Over/Under

The total has only gone Over once in the Rams’ 5 games thus far. The Over is 2-3 in Panthers games, too. Until we see some signs of life from either of these offenses, I’m going to bet the UNDER 41.5 (-108) because while the defenses are respectable, the Rams and Panthers have gotten nothing going offensively recently.

San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers Week 5 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Francisco 49ers (2-2) and the Carolina Panthers (1-3) meet Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the 49ers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The 49ers pasted the Rams 24-9, using their top-ranked defense to confuse and frustrate the defending champs all game long.

San Francisco ranks No. 1 with just 234.5 total yards allowed and 11.5 points allowed per game, while ranking No. 2 with 161.3 passing yards allowed and 73.3 rushing yards allowed per game.

The Panthers offense ranks dead-last in total yards per game with 262.3, and facing the 49ers’ top-ranked D isn’t the cure for their ills. Carolina is averaging just 19.5 PPG, ranking 17th in the NFL, and 2 of the team’s 4 touchdowns in the past 2 games have come on defensive scores.

49ers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

49ers 17, Panthers 12

Moneyline

The 49ers (-260) are more than likely going to win this game, but risking nearly 3 times your potential return on a road team is risky business in the NFL. Even when something looks like a sure thing, it’s not.

PASS.

Against the spread

PANTHERS +5.5 (-105) is risky, as the offense has shown no signs of life across the first 4 games. This was expected to be an improved unit with QB Baker Mayfield, but the offense is actually worse than the 2021 team. In fact, it’s much worse.

Still, even though Carolina is facing the top-ranked 49ers -5.5 (-115) defense at home, it has a decent kicker and should be able to keep this to 1 score. The 49ers don’t exactly light the world afire on offense, either.

Over/Under

UNDER 39.5 (-110) is the best bet on the board, even though it might seem like a low number at first glance.

Remember, this is a 49ers team that went into Denver and lost 11-10. It is also a San Francisco D that has allowed 27 total points across the past 3 games. We could easily see a game that rivals the Thursday night yawner between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. Oh, please, not again!

Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arizona Cardinals (1-2) and the Carolina Panthers (1-2) meet Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cardinals vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Cardinals have been very Jekyll and Hyde to date. They were pounded 44-21 in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, won 29-23 at the Las Vegas Raiders in OT in Week 2, and then lost 20-12 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.

The Panthers lost 26-24 at home in Week 1 to the Cleveland Browns. After a 19-16 loss at N.Y. Giants in Week 2, Carolina found success at home against the New Orleans Saints last week, winning 22-14.

Cardinals at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 27, Panthers 20

Moneyline

The CARDINALS (-103) are the play in this road game. The Panthers (-115) could potentially be without McCaffrey, but even if he plays, he hasn’t been a difference maker so far for Carolina. This team is still very middling.

QB Kyler Murray should find plenty of room to operate in Sunday’s game, as the Panthers rank 22nd against the run, and 18th in the NFL in total yards allowed (348.7). Look for Murray to be a difference maker.

Against the spread

CARDINALS +1.5 (-107) doesn’t really make sense, paying slightly more than the money line. Unless you are feeling a tie or 1-point game will happen, just play the ML.

And if you like the tie, then you like the Game To Go To Overtime (+900). Play that lightly instead. I don’t like it, though.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-112) is the best play on the board.

Arizona is going to be able to move the ball up and down the field on this defense. On the other side, even the ineffective QB Baker Mayfield should find plenty of open spaces against a Cardinals defense which ranks 30th in the NFL against the pass, allowing 281.0 yards per game, while coughing up 29.0 PPG. It’s not or never for the Bake Show in Charlotte.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The New Orleans Saints (1-1) and the Carolina Panthers (0-2) meet in a Week 3 matchup Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Saints vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Saints played a defensive battle in their home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coming up short in Week 2 by a 20-10 score. New Orleans has failed to cover both games to start the year.

Saints at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 21, Panthers 18

Money line

The SAINTS (-135) are worth a play but circle back around Sunday before finalizing your wager. With Winston on the injury report, and a 50-50 proposition to play, this could turn into a huge risk in a hurry if he is inactive.

Winston has 4 of his 33 vertebrae fractured, and now he is dealing with an ankle injury, too. If Winston is sidelined, veteran QB Andy Dalton would get the starting nod, so New Orleans would still be in decent hands.

Against the spread

The Saints -2.5 (-117) aren’t terribly overpriced, but there is just so much risk based on the QB situation. In addition, Kamara is also on the injury report and a 50-50 proposition. The Saints could go from Winston and Kamara playing, to Dalton and RB Mark Ingram II.

PASS, just play the money line instead.

Over/Under

UNDER 41.5 (-112) is worth playing lightly, regardless of the healthy of Winston and Kamara. Even if they play, the Under has hit in each of the past 3 meetings in this series.

The Under is 9-4 in the past 13 games inside the NFC South for New Orleans and is 7-2 in its last 9 games overall. The Under is 5-2 in the past 7 games for the Panthers inside the division, too.

Carolina Panthers at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers (0-1) and the New York Giants (1-0) meet in a Week 2 matchup Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers had a chance to win last week against the Cleveland Browns, but allowed a 58-yard game-winning field goal in the final 10 seconds to come up just a little bit short at home, 26-24.

Down 20-13, the Giants scored a late touchdown to make it 20-19, pending the extra point. Head coach Brian Daboll — in his debut in that role – ended up calling for the 2-point conversion and RB Saquon Barkley got it done. The Titans missed a field goal at the buzzer, and the Giants held on for the solid 21-20 road win as the Under cashed.

Panthers at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 27, Panthers 24

Money line

The GIANTS (-130) aren’t a bad play if you don’t want to fiddle around with the points, and just want to declare a winner. It isn’t that much more juice to take the home side.

The G-Men established the run last week, as Barkley is finally 100 percent and looks like his former self. The Giants won 25-3 last season against the Panthers without Barkley, while RB Christian McCaffrey also missed that meeting. CMC is back, too, and this game should be a lot more interesting.

Against the spread

GIANTS -2.5 (-110) is a strong play on their home field. This team won by 22 against a McCaffrey-less Panthers offense last season. Carolina’s offense should be much better, especially with QB Baker Mayfield now in the fold, but it won’t have enough to upend Barkley and the Giants on the road.

Over/Under

The OVER 43.5 (-112) might be the best play on the board. McCaffrey and Barkley are both playing in this game after missing last season’s matchup. The run game is obviously better with them on the field, but that opens things up more downfield in the pass game, too.

Expect to see a lot more fireworks in this battle in New Jersey, with the Giants coming out ahead late.

Cleveland Browns at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Carolina Panthers Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Browns and the Carolina Panthers open their regular seasons Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Browns vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns made big headlines by signing QB Deshaun Watson during the offseason. He is suspended for the first 11 games, so QB Jacoby Brissett will make the start in the opener.

The Browns also made headlines when they traded QB Baker Mayfield to the Panthers in the wake of the Watson signing. As luck has it, the Panthers are first on the schedule, and he gets a crack at his former team after winning the starting job during the preseason.

Browns at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 23, Browns 20

Money line

This is a very important start for Mayfield, as he gets a revenge game in Week 1. He wants to show the Browns that they made a huge mistake parting ways with him, going with Watson instead.

The PANTHERS (-108) are a good play since Mayfield has a chip on his shoulder.

Against the spread

Playing the Panthers -0.5 (-112) isn’t necessary given it provides worse odds than the money line. This actually should be a pretty close game with scoring at a premium, but if you think the Panthers are going to win just play the money line for the better payout.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-112) is worth playing lightly. I expect both teams to try to establish the run early, easing their new quarterbacks into action, but we still won’t see a defensive slog.

There are plenty of home run hitters on both sides, including RB Christian McCaffrey and WR DJ Moore for Carolina, and WR Amari Cooper and RB Nick Chubb for Cleveland. We could see a surprising number of big plays.
