Atlanta's already strong running attack is even better with the return of Cordarrelle Patterson. After missing four games in October with an injury, the four-time Pro Bowler returned last week and scored both of the Falcons' touchdowns against the Chargers. He leads Atlanta, which ranks fourth in the league in rushing, in rushing yards per game (76.8).
In addition, the Falcons face a Carolina team that has struggled to move the ball this season. The Panthers average just 289.9 yards per game on offense. Only the Rams (286.0) and Titans (278.5) average fewer. Last week, Carolina had just 228 total yards against the Bengals. See which team to pick here.
Why the Panthers can coverD'Onta Foreman has been productive since taking over for Christian McCaffrey as the team's top running back. Over the last three games, the sixth-year veteran from Texas is averaging a healthy 5.4 yards per rush while scoring three touchdowns. He ran for 118 yards against both the Buccaneers and the Falcons over that stretch; only once has Foreman run for more in an NFL game in his career.
In addition, Carolina takes on an Atlanta defense that has struggled to pressure the quarterback. The Falcons have just 12 sacks this year, which is tied for the second fewest in the NFL. Only the Raiders (nine) have fewer. See which team to pick here.
