Result: Win
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Carolina Panthers.
While I obviously think the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. It's do or die, the winner of this game will go on to represent the surprisingly poor NFC South. These are a couple of bad teams. Atlanta remained alive in the race by beating the Saints 30-14 last Sunday, its first win in three games. Carolina needs to win or tie to clinch the division and will play with revenge here after falling 19-17 to the Falcons in Week 11: "We're in a great position," Panthers coach Ron Rivera assessed earlier in the week. "We have a chance to do something that's never happened in the NFC South and that's (win) back-to-back division titles." Carolina though is moving in the right direction to end the year, after giving up an average of 29 points during a six-game skid, the Panthers have won all three of their games this month, outscoring the opposition 77-40 in the process (it's interesting to note that Carolina is 14-3 in the month of December since Rivera took over in 2011). Panthers QB Cam Newton has overcome season long injury issues to play a lot better of late, he threw for 201 yards with a TD, while also adding 12 carries for 63 yards and another score in last Sunday's 17-13 win over the Browns. Also note that Carolina RB Jonathan Stewart has been a wrecking ball over the last month, he leads the league with 437 rushing yards in that span. A lone bright spot for Atlanta's offense has been receiver Julio Jones, at least in the consistency department, but Jones can't win the game by himself, I believe Carolina continues to make progressions on the defensive side of the ball today. I think this game should be a pick-em and as far as I'm concerned that means that the PANTHERS are indeed the sharp move in this pivotal contest.
