Atlanta at Carolina

Carolina would like to avenge an opening-week loss to Atlanta that started the Panthers on a path to a nightmare season, including a coaching change. The Falcons haven't had a great year themselves and they have lost four of six, including 29-25 to Tampa Bay last week. Atlanta wasted a good effort by Desmond Ritter as he threw for 347 yards and a touchdown, but Baker Mayfield threw a go-ahead 11-yard pass to Cade Otton with 31 seconds left for the Buccaneers and the game soared OVER by 12.5 points. Atlanta is just 2-7 ATS its past nine games as a favorite and 2-6 ATS overall following an ATS loss. The Falcons are 3-9 ATS their past 12 games overall and 3-8 ATS on the road. The Panthers have gone OVER four of their past five December games. This is a low posted total and Atlanta allows 20.7 points per game. The Falcons are 0-4 ATS as road favorites of 3.5 to 10.0 points. Carolina outgained New Orleans 303-207, but was burned by two bad plays on special teams. Take the Panthers as a Max Play and the OVER.
