Summary:
Carolina has stumbled out of the gates losing two of their first three games. They need to do a better job of taking care of the football this year (last year they led the NFL in turnover margin). Atlanta enters the game with the number one offense in the league. They will be tested by a tough Panthers defense who will look to rebound. The Falcons defense has been horrible so far but fortunately they have been able to simply outscore whoever they are playing. Atlanta will find points much tougher to come by this week and for that reason I’m taking Carolina on the road.
