The NFL opens Week 10 with a battle between two NFC South teams that just faced off two weeks ago. In that game, the (4-5) Atlanta Falcons (-2.5)
beat the (2-7) Carolina Panthers (+2.5) by three points, 37-34. While the Panthers were the better statistical team on paper that day, they missed a field goal and an extra point, leaving four points off the board and costing them a win.
Despite their losing record, the Falcons sit atop the NFC South, tied for first place with the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2.5)
. Atlanta has lost two of their last three games (only scoring 17 points in each loss) with their win over the Panthers sandwiched in between.
