Falcons Visit Carolina in Clash of Faltering NFC South Rivals

The Atlanta Falcons look to end a four-game slide at the sportsbooks as they travel to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers in an NFC South matchup at Bank of America Stadium. The Falcons are coming off a 25-20 win over the New York Jets as 6.5-point road chalk, while the Panthers posted a 17-3 win at Tampa Bay as 1.5-point underdogs.

The Panthers are coming off their third outright win as road underdogs this season, but have struggled on home turf, losing outright in their past two, both as home favorites.
