"The Falcons return stateside with an albatross of a four-game losing streak in tow, where they will host the division rival Panthers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday. Atlanta hung with Indianapolis in Berlin, but was ultimately undone by an abysmal passing game and costly special teams errors. Despite the loss, the Falcons are favored by 3.5 points over the Panthers on Sunday, per FanDuel Sportsbook."
"Should the Falcons fall to the Panthers, they'll find themselves at 3-7 and 0-3 in the NFC South. In that event, slim postseason chances will be all but vaporized, and there will likely be changes among the coaching staff. When that would happen is anybody's guess. The Panthers are 5-5, and have won three of their last five games - including a 16-13 win over the Packers two weeks ago."
Atlanta returns with a four-game losing streak and will host division rival Carolina at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Falcons competed with Indianapolis in Berlin but were undone by an abysmal passing game and costly special teams errors. FanDuel lists Atlanta as a 3.5-point favorite despite recent struggles. Carolina blanked Atlanta 30-0 in Week 3, and Atlanta later lost 34-10 to a 2-6 Miami team. Atlanta sits at 3-6 with an inconsistent offense and an intermittently disappearing rushing game. A loss would drop Atlanta to 3-7 and 0-3 in the NFC South and all but eliminate postseason hopes.
