Paolo Go grabbed the Panthers +3.5 at −110, reminding readers that Carolina has covered in five of eight underdog spots this season and has taken four of the past six meetings with Atlanta, including last year’s 30-0 shutout. He called out Atlanta’s ongoing red-zone malaise and unstable quarterback situation, noting the Falcons routinely stall inside the 30. Go believes Carolina’s defense can keep the game within a field goal, making the points valuable in a divisional matchup where the favorite’s offense is misfiring.
