Panthers vs Falcons Prediction Week 8

Early NFL predictions and picks are from ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI).
Panthers: 28.9% to win
Falcons: 70.7% to win

The oddsmakers and ESPN's FPI are in complete agreement on this, with both expecting a dominant performance from the Falcons. Carolina is rebuilding on the fly while Atlanta has been a surprise contender this year.

The Falcons pack too much offensive punch with their young playmakers for this struggling Panthers squad to keep up. Carolina's going to have a tough time competing on the road here, so I'm taking the Falcons -7 (-110).
