Panthers vs Falcons: 3 Ways to Bet the NFL Game
1. How the Falcons Can Make the NFL Playoffs
The Falcons’ path to making the NFL playoffs is simple, but that does not make it likely. Per NFL news, Atlanta needs a win versus Carolina and for New Orleans to upset Tampa Bay.
For context, the Buccaneers are 13-point favorites versus the Saints. Sunday will be the rare day when Falcons fans are rooting for the Saints.

Two days in and 2025 is already wild.
2. Panthers vs Falcons Pick: Bet Carolina ATS
As the Panthers look at all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, this game means a lot more to the Falcons. Yet, the Panthers’ season has been over for some time, but Carolina has still managed to remain competitive in games against better opponents.
Atlanta should be able to get the victory in this matchup, but it may not be as easy as the NFL lines indicate. Per NFL betting trends, back in December, the Panthers lost by less than a touchdown to the Cardinals, Eagles and Buccaneers.
The Falcons have not proven to be a dominant team. Bet online on Carolina to cover ATS versus Atlanta.

3. Bet the Under in Panthers vs Falcons Game
The Panthers have trended towards the over this season while the Falcons have tended to hit the under. Carolina’s games have gone over in 12 of 16 games, tied for the most of any NFL team. The under has hit in 10 of 16 Atlanta games this season.
I am not expecting a shootout in this season finale. I think we could see the Panthers offense struggle to score against a Falcons defense that has closed the season much better than it started.
Take the under with NFL predictions.
Bet On This PICK: Under 48 Points
4. Panthers vs Falcons Prop Pick: Take the Under on Atlanta’s Team Total
The Falcons team total is set at 28.5 points. That’s a lot of points for an offense led by a rookie quarterback making just his third NFL start. Take the under on the Falcons team total at the BetUS sportsbook.
Bet On This Pick: Falcons Under 28.5 Points
Q: Advice for #Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. in his rookie season?
A: “I think he’s older than me.”😂
Seriously though, Bryce Young shared a great deal of respect for Penix, adding the two worked out with the same people in the offseason. @Panthers | @wsoctv pic.twitter.com/euJu14JEmo
