Predicting the Atlanta Falcons’ season: Weeks 9 through 12
Week 10: Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers on November 11th
When the Falcons take on the Panthers in week ten, it will be their first and only primetime game of the year, unless the NFL moves one of their late-season games into a primetime spot which is not likely.
So, the Falcons need to prove why they deserved more than one primetime game during their 2022 regular season. Last season they did anything but that as they got smashed by the Patriots 25-0 at home.
If the Falcons are going to sweep any team in the division, odds are that it will be the Panthers who are in a similar situation as the Falcons.
Atlanta has beat up on Carolina since the team made the Super Bowl and there is no reason to think that cannot continue.
These two teams split their series last year when the road team took both victories.
Again, Atlanta needs to take advantage of all of the struggling teams on their schedule and this is one of them. Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, it does not matter, the Falcons need to win.
This was a hard game to decide between a win or a loss but ultimately we will say that the Falcons scrape out a win by a field goal to sweep Carolina.
