The Panthers pulled off the biggest upset of this season when they beat the Buccaneers, 21-3, as 13-point home underdogs in Week 7.
In Week 8, Carolina, after cashing on the moneyline for bettors at +625 odds, will look to carry that momentum on the road against NFC South rival Atlanta.
The Falcons fell 35-17 to the Bengals last week and suffered their first (6-1) against the spread (ATS) loss of the season. The Falcons’ defense, which ranks fifth in rushing yards allowed per game (100.3), will try to shut down Carolina’s new tandem of D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard. The Panthers, who traded Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers last week, found success with their new duo who combined for 181 rushing yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay.
