The Carolina Panthers (1-2) come in to the Atlanta to face off with the Falcons (2-1) at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia for a NFC South collision with large divisional stakes on the table, as Atlanta with a win can be two games ahead of the defending division champion, Carolina. The contest is scheduled for a 1:00 PM kick-off on Sunday, October 2nd, 2016. The game will be aired on FOX in selected regional markets.
Carolina enters on yet another low note, falling 22-10 at home to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings despite being favored to pull of the W. Simply put, Minnesota’s defense was the difference maker as the Vikings have been overachieving all season long. Reigning MVP Cam Newton has had trouble catalyzing his offense after posting incendiary numbers all throughout the 2015 season.

Despite embarking on a two-game winning streak, Atlanta enters this contest as a marginal pooch. The Dirty Birds enter off a 45-38 shootout win in New Orleans after following this result up with an impressive road win at Oakland, the week before. The Birds have been preying on weak opposing defenses and Carolina is certainly a step-up from the likes of the two aforementioned clubs and Tampa Bay who Atlanta lost to in the opening week of this season.
