Falcons vs Panthers Betting Picks and Analysis in Week 15

If you take a look at the current standings in the NFL, you’ll see some fabulous battles going on all across the league. MyBookie Sportsbook NFL Odds, American Football NFL Lines | Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers

There is a serious battle for division titles and playoff spots going on right now, which means that the majority of games on the schedule hold some type of meaning in terms of those specific battles. One division that is proving almost impossible to predict is the NFC South. It is arguably the weakest division in the NFL this season, but that is making the race to win the division title all the more appealing. The Buccaneers, Falcons, and Saints are all sitting at 6-7, which means that the division records for these teams are likely to be a factor when all is said and done. The Falcons can help their cause by beating a divisional foe this weekend when they hit the road to face the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons are a 3-point favorite, with the O/U set at 35.

Atlanta Falcons

If the Falcons do not go on to win the division and make the playoffs, they will almost certainly look at their last-minute loss to the Buccaneers last weekend as one of the contributing factors. That loss snapped a modest 2-game win streak, but perhaps more importantly, it made their path to a division title that much more convoluted. They are still in decent shape, going 3-1 in divisional games this season, but the Buccaneers now hold the tiebreaker over Atlanta with that win, which might well come back to haunt the Falcons. Still, they can move to 4-1 with a win over the hapless Carolina Panthers, a team they have already beaten this season. Atlanta has been money versus Carolina, winning 12 of the last 16 meetings. They are 11-5 ATS in those 16 games, so they are also a good bet there. In terms of the point total, the Falcons have seen the UNDER hit in 13 of their last 19 overall.

Carolina Panthers

With just 1 win this season, it has been an absolute nightmare year for the Carolina Panthers. On one hand, you could say that the pressure is now off, but on the other, is this team really that inspired to win when the #1 draft pick next year looks to be an absolute lock? Sure, teams will always deny tanking to get the top pick in the draft, but the eye test very often tells a very different story. The Panthers have lost each of their last 6 games, but perhaps more importantly, they are now on a run of 9 straight losses to conference foes with just 1 win in their last 6 versus teams from the South. When playing as the underdog, Carolina is 3-7 ATS in their last 10, with the UNDER hitting in each of their last 5 games played at home.

Falcons vs Panthers NFL Odds, Expert Pick and Score Prediction

The Atlanta Falcons absolutely need a win in this game to help their chances of winning the division, but this one could be a tougher task that expected. I think we get a close one here, but I do like Atlanta to win and cover.
