Atlanta Falcons vs Carolina Panthers Prediction: Falcons will win

The Atlanta Falcons enter Sunday's game with Carolina tied for first place in the NFC South despite having a 3-4 record and essentially no expectations at the start of the season. They're favored by a couple of touchdowns over Carolina in this game. As the week closes, they may find themselves in first place with a win in this match.

Atlanta Falcons - favorite to win

This season, the Falcons have done well thanks to their ground game, which is considered one of the best in the league. The Falcons average almost 4.2 yards per carry as a team, and four different players have already run for more than 170 yards this season. They have won three games so far this season, but they have also lost three games. They are the favorites to win this game and will be hoping for a well-deserved win at home to close the gap in points.

Carolina Panthers - Panthers can not be overwritten

Following last week's shocking victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a weekend win against the Atlanta Falcons would put the Panthers atop the NFC South. It's hard to believe after such a rocky start, Steve Wilks' squad is far from safe in one of the worst divisions in football. In their last five matches, they have just two wins, while they have two wins. However, their losses have been huge. In this match, they will be coming as huge underdogs once again. Despite this, we will not overwrite them as they will look to upset the Atlanta Falcons and enjoy another stellar performance as they did against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
