Prediction: Panthers at atlanta
The Panthers managed to do the unthinkable after the emotional high of the win over the Packers. They stumbled against a 1-8 team led by a rookie quarterback making just his second career start. That loss felt like a season killer.
Now they head on the road to Atlanta to face an offense loaded with skill talent and possibly two young pass rushers from the Charlotte area who will be eager for revenge. The Panthers have lost every bit of momentum, and I fully expect Atlanta to take advantage.
At this point, one of two things seems true about the Panthers: either Bryce Young is hurt or he simply isn’t the future.
Prediction: Falcons 31, Panthers 17.
