Here comes the wood........I love Jimmy being an Irish fan......but he isn't comfortable, doesn't have any weapons and playing a team like Atlanta isn't gonna help anything!!!

CAR +7.5 (3units): the Panthers lost to division opponents by 15 and 31 (Buccaneers and Saints), so how do they expect to cover 7.5 against Matt Ryan and the Falcons? Even though its a divisional game and the public is pounding Atlanta by the tune of 95% plus, the obvious choice is Atlanta right? Consider this, the Saints have won 7 of their 9 wins by less than 7 points, i'm just sayin... Im bettin New Orleans plays enough to win, but not cover. Score: Falcons 18-Panthers 12

correction

I totally agree with your analysis here!

CAROLINA   + 7.5

Preaching to the choir. And I like the Under too. Seems like both teams will run all day even if ATL will throw to Roddy White on play action. It'll be a time of possession game and hence low scoring. I like the combination of Stewart and Goodson (even if he got hurt last week, check for injury updates) running even against a good run defence, to keep it close enough to cover.

ATL has a chance at home field throughout the playoffs where we all no Ryan does not lose. With this in mind i think they roll CAR this week.

passed matchups show that the Falcons have trouble playing in Carolina...

I'll take the 7.5 with ya!

Don't know if you guys follow the Falcons but there was some interaction between Skip Bayless of espn and some of the Falcons players because Bayless is saying that Falcons play too close and don't have quality wins. I feel that the Falcons come out and make a statement this week and lay the wood on the Panthers who have already given up and are in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. True the Falcons have had trouble in the past at Carolina but that was a different team with Peppers, Deangelo, and Stewart playing well. The Falcons weakness is their pass defense and there is no way that Carolina exploits that with Clausen. Falcons roll this week and win by 17 to 21 points going away. 

Plus the aints are up our butts with their lucky wins so there is no way that the Falcons ease up this weekend. Falcons superbowl bound!

Falcons cover by 10 points.

So how does it feel to lose money each week betting against the Falcons? LOL.

These other teams are phonys. Been telling ya'll since week one. This is our year. No body in the NFC will stop us from reaching the Bowl baby.

Falcons stomp the bottom feeding Panthers by 30. 

Atlanta - 24                                    Carolina - 14

Falcons -7.5                              under 42.5

It's tough going against a team that is hitting on all cylinders.

If the Falcons lose it will be 2 weeks from now on a Monday night vs the Saints, until then.

Falcons - Under

 

falcons-8 over the box cats

Tough one to call !  Dirty Birds should roll but they have had trouble in Carolina.  7.5 could be enough but I just don't know ? 

Home team has won the last two meetings SU. I like this game as the upset special.

]Carolina SU

1-11 Carolina. . .

atlanta   home field too much of incentive

HOTLANTA

Most of the people "praying" carolina probably also thought Miami was done after the first quarter lastnight.. Atlanta wins here by 3 TDs

 

BoL to all
