The Carolina Panthers head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons for their Week 8 matchup.
The Panthers are riding high after destroying the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week 21 - 3. It was their second game with the interim head coach, Steve Wilks. In Wilks' first game in Week 7, they were blown out by the LA Rams 24 - 10, but they have new life after last week's victory.
The Falcons have been all over the place this season, posting a 3 - 4 record, but bettors were upset with Atlanta last week. Not because they lost, but because they lost by three when the spread was two. Prior to last week, the Falcons were undefeated at the spread. Now they are 6 - 1 ATS.

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Best Pick
Bettors never know what they are going to get in these divisional games. From 2017 to 2019, Atlanta dominated this series, but it has been more even in the past couple of seasons. The total has also ranged a good bit. In their past five meetings, the total has ranged from 32 to 60.
Bettors glean nothing from looking at the past few weeks, either. The Panthers have been drilling the under, but Atlanta has had more overs than unders. So the basis for this bet is taken from how Wilks is coaching this team, with a high focus on defense.

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction
The difference a new head coach can make for a team is wild. Having traded Robbie Anderson and Christian McCaffrey, this team is unrecognizable, but whatever is going on in Carolina seems to be working. While there is no reason to think they will not dominate the league, they may be more competitive for the rest of the season.
Being a four-point dog against a division rival while coming off a huge win, the Panthers should roll their momentum into Sunday's game. Look for another win for Steve Wilks.
Carolina +4 (-110)
