Falcons vs. Panthers Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, QB Matchup, Injury Report, Betting Trends and Stats

The Atlanta Falcons (3-2) visit Charlotte, NC this Sunday for an NFC South game against the Carolina Panthers (1-4).

Led by veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, Atlanta has picked up wins against the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in recent weeks. After a slow start to the season, Cousins ​​is becoming more comfortable in a new offense with new teammates, as evidenced by his franchise-record 509 yards and four touchdowns in last week’s win over the Bucs.

This week, Cousins ​​and Co. face a Panthers team that lacked talent at the start of the season and is now struggling and even more undermanned. Carolina lost defensive end Derrick Brown, linebacker Shaq Thompson and center Austin Corbett to season-ending injuries. Veteran WR Adam Thielen is on injured reserve, TE Tommy Tremble is in the concussion protocol and RT Taylor Moton will have his streak of 120 straight games snapped as he battles a triceps injury.

Let’s dive into the matchup and find a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets

NBC Sports Betting Analyst Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) plays the opponent and takes the QB’s passing play. Total UNDER:
“I’m going to rock UNDER 254.5 yards with Kirk Cousins. What’s better than blanking out a player in a great game? Ban him from a career highlight! This guy had 509 passing yards (last week). So what are the sports betting providers doing? They increase his numbers to a number he hasn’t reached in any other game this season. Give me UNDER 254.5.”
