are coming off their worst performance of the season: a 35-17 loss to the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals (-3). Atlanta now returns home to face the NFC South-rival Carolina Panthers (+4.5) for control of the division lead, and the Falcons are currently 4.5-point favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
