The Panthers won the first game 19-13 on Halloween, but they have dropped three of four since. The Falcons have also dropped three of their last four games. This is a match up of who will still be alive for a playoff berth, and who will be looking at a top-ten NFL Draft pick in 2022.

Latest Lines via SI Sports Book
The Panthers enter the game a 2.5-point favorite over the Falcons. Carolina is coming off a bye week after one of their worst games of the season, a 33-10 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a career low 5.8 quarterback rating. He only completed five passes and threw two interceptions.
The Falcons were dominated in the trenches in October's loss, but have run the ball much better the last few games. In a loss last week to the Buccaneers, Atlanta ran for 121 yards and had 149 yards rushing in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars the week prior.
The Falcons currently are in line for the eighth overall pick in April's NFL Draft with the Panthers just one spot behind them. A win keeps the victor in playoff contention, while a loss helps solidify a top-ten pick for the loser.
