Free Betting Pick: Carolina Panthers +3
The Carolina Panthers will be taking the field under new direction as they fired Ron Rivera at the beginning of the week, but this is still a talented team and a new voice may be able to get a spark going. Opposing teams have keyed in on Christian McCaffery which has forced Kyle Allen and the aerial attack to try and win games, and Allen should be able to get it going against a poor passing defense (26th). The Atlanta Falcons have dealt with injuries on the offensive side of the ball with star WR Julio Jones and TE Austin Hooper in and out of the lineup, and that could cost them in what could become a high-scoring affair. Take the Panthers to cover the spread and win outright as their offense will be too much for the Falcons. Final Score Prediction, Carolina Panthers win and cover ATS 31-27.
