Panthers -2.5 in the second matchup between these two NFC South teams, the Panthers winning 19-13 down in Atlanta. Matt Ryan still has the most wins vs. any team against the Panthers with a 17-10 record. The Falcons have now scored 25 in 4 of their last 5 games. They average 18 a game scored for the year, allowing 27.7 a game as some games like last week have been double digit losses, outscored 112-41 since week 12.
The Panthers have now lost 7 of last 9 since the 3-0 start. Going back to Cam Newton still hasn’t righted the ship and now McCaffery is out for the year. The schedule gets tough for the Panthers, their the toughest amongst NFC teams the rest of the way.
My prediction 24-16 Falcons.
