Falcons vs Panthers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Bank of America Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, December 12, 2021.
Why Bet The Falcons:
✅ Outside of the game against Arizona, where the Cardinals played without Kyler Murray or DeAndre Hopkins, the Panthers have really struggled with Cam Newton at quarterback. In his two starts, the Panthers have been outscored 60-31 against the Washington Football Team and Miami Dolphins. Against another mediocre team in the Falcons, the Panthers’ struggles with Newton will continue.
✅ Atlanta has been predictable this season, getting crushed by good teams while playing competitively against bad teams. Carolina is definitely closer to the latter category at this point in time, and the Falcons should have a shot to win this game outright, in addition to covering the three-point spread.

✅ In their first meeting with the Panthers, Atlanta gave Cordarrelle Patterson just 14 touches on the ground and through the air. Since then, Patterson has had 15 or more touches in three of the four games he has appeared in, and he will be more impactful against a Panthers team missing its top offensive weapon in Christian McCaffrey.
Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons fell at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13, getting beat 30-17 by a Buccaneers team that completed the season sweep against Atlanta. This week, the Falcons have a much better chance to win, against a Panthers team that has been struggling mightily. But the Falcons will need to step up offensively if they want to pick up a win to move to 6-7.
Atlanta is averaging just over 10 points per game over its last four games, with 21 of their 41 points during that stretch coming against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars. Carolina has a solid defense, as the Falcons learned for themselves when they were held to 13 points at home against the Panthers earlier in the year.
Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers lost their second straight game last week, getting beat convincingly by the Miami Dolphins. For the second straight week, the Panthers’ offense couldn’t get going, as the Dolphins held them to just 10 points for the game. Here, the Panthers will hope for the first successful start of Cam Newton’s second tenure with the team.
Newton has not been helped by the absence of Christian McCaffrey, who is going to miss the rest of the season. And the firing of offensive coordinator Joe Brady isn’t likely to help things in the short term either. But Newton deserves some of the blame for the offensive issues in Carolina also, as he has struggled to make throws, like he has for much of the last few years.
