Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction, Pick, Odds: Can Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons Soar on TNF?

We're headed to Week 10 of the NFL season. The Atlanta Falcons are currently tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for first place in the NFC South, with a 4-5 record.

They'll take on the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football, who are 2-7 on the year.

The Panthers aren't many games back from the top of the division. But it's doubtful that the Panthers can get back into contention, especially after trading away Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers.

A couple of weeks ago, the Atlanta Falcons rallied past the Carolina Panthers in overtime to take the division lead in the NFC South. They'll look to do the same against the Panthers this week to keep themselves tied for first place in the NFC South with the Buccaneers.

Here are our picks, predictions, and odds for Thursday's game between the Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers.

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction

Let's just flashback to two weeks ago when the Falcons defeated the Panthers, 37-34, in overtime at home.

The Panthers earned nearly 475 yards of offense, including over 300 yards passing and 169 yards rushing. Carolina turned the ball over once but had nine penalties in that game.

Meanwhile, the Falcons earned 406 yards of offense with 167 yards on the ground. They also had seven penalties but earned on that one turnover from Carolina, the Falcons scored a touchdown.

Atlanta still had two turnovers on their own.

Either way, both teams earned more than 20 first downs. Carolina was in the red zone five-time, and Atlanta was around the red zone three times. There were only three sacks in the entire game.

Carolina allowed 42 points to the Bengals on defense last week in a 42-21 blowout. The score looks better than the game was. Meanwhile, Atlanta also allowed 35 to Cincinnati before their game against Carolina.

They also choked away a game against the Los Angeles Chargers, losing 20-17 last week.

Despite Carolina earning more yards against the Falcons in their most recent head-to-head match, the Falcons are still the more consistent offense. They've got more skilled weapons between Cordarrelle Patterson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London and have three running backs that are more than capable of carrying the load.

On the other hand, the Panthers are still sticking with P.J. Walker, despite having two other more experienced starters on the bench. The quarterback situation isn't good for Carolina, but at this point, it might be time to give other players a shot at quarterback.

Walker came into the year as the team's third quarterback, and even with the other two quarterbacks healthy, he's still holding onto the job.

Either way, he played well against Atlanta, and the offensive line limited the time he was on the ground in that game.

The Falcons have allowed 25 points per game. Carolina should be able to have success offensively again. Meanwhile, the Panthers have allowed 25.3 points per game. There's no reason why the Falcons can't have success offensively against Carolina, either.

Therefore, I'll back the Over 43.5 for this Thursday Night Football matchup.
