This is both a buy-low spot on the Falcons and the OVER. Atlanta is in stop-the-pain mode with four consecutive losses, the last two coming in agonizing fashion. The Falcons fell, 24-23, at New England on a missed extra-point with 4:40 left and then allowed Indianapolis to rally for a 31-25 overtime win in Berlin last Sunday. Atlanta will have the three most explosive playmakers on the field with Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. Robinson has the third-most combined rushing/receiving yards in the NFL, and London has the seventh-most receiving yards. Pitts has the fourth most tight end receptions. The Panthers have surrendered the NFL’s fourth-most yards to tight ends. Atlanta has revenge for a 30-0 loss to the Panthers on Sept. 21. The Panthers haven't swept the Falcons in 12 years. Atlanta outgained Carolina by 108 yards in that defeat. The Panthers lack the Falcons' passing attack, but can contribute their share of points to this total going OVER by taking advantage of Atlanta's 29th-ranked run defense. Rico Dowdle is the leading rusher in the NFC. Take the Falcons on the moneyline, and bet the OVER.
