Play: Carolina Panthers
Rating: 8*

I like the Carolina Panthers to come back strong from a tight 21-20 defeat to the Broncos in the season opener. The Panthers lost as a favorite but they're 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a ATS loss and 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 home games. The San Francisco 49ers dominated the LA Rams in a 28-0 victory on Monday night football. Are the 49ers really that good or were the Rams that bad? I'm going with the latter, and this sets up a huge letdown spot at Bank of America Stadium Sunday afternoon. The Niners are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win and 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game.
