The 0-2 Carolina Panthers are underdogs against the 1-1 Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta has looked like they might cohere into a decent football team through two weeks and have all the motivation they need need to want to ruin the Panthers home opener. Setting aside the usual divisional rivalry, Bryce Young and company spoiled the end of the Falcons 2024 season in a 44-38 overtime thriller that saw Young score five touchdown with zero turnovers.
Young has not turned in that kind of performance in either of his two starts in 2025 and so the odds remain unfavorable for the Carolina Panthers.
Remember that home-field advantage is traditionally accounted for by spotting the home team—Arizona, in this case—three points on the spread. That means the Michael Penix Jr led Falcons would be expected to win by a touchdown if this was played in Atlanta.
