Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons
TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox
Records: Panthers 5-7, Falcons 3-9
Line: Falcons by 2½
Satellite radio: Panthers feed on Sirius 133 (streaming 804), Falcons feed on Sirius 108 (streaming 801)
Panthers’ keys: Use screen passes to get the ball to RB Christian McCaffrey and allow QB Kyle Allen to make simple reads on offense. The defense needs to bring the heat against the Falcons’ struggling offensive line, which has given up 40 sacks and 100 QB hits this season.
Falcons’ keys: Priority No. 1 is to keep QB Matt Ryan upright after allowing nine sacks by the Saints on Thanksgiving. Atlanta intercepted four Allen passes and sacked him five times when the teams played Nov. 17.
Who wins? Expect Atlanta, which throttled the Panthers 29-3 in Week 11, to win a low-scoring and possibly ugly game. Falcons 20, Panthers 16
