will be back in action this Sunday after a much needed bye week in Week 13 and will meet a familiar foe when they welcome the Atlanta Falcons (+3) to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. on Sunday, December 12.
The lines makers must believe that rest — coupled with being at home — is a competitive advantage, because the Panthers have opened as 3-point favorites for their Week 14 matchup with Atlanta. The over/under is currently set at 43.5 points.
This is probably the most important game of the season for the Panthers, because a loss all but eliminates them from playoff contention.
