Analysis: The Atlanta Falcons are the easy pick in this matchup BetUS football sports betting enthusiasts after kicking off their 2009-10 campaign with a convincing victory over the Miami Dolphins – and the Carolina Panthers looking absolutely atrocious against the Eagles in their opener.
While the Carolina Panthers have gone an impressive 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following an SU loss and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against NFC South division opponents, the team has also gone just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog of 3.5-10 points and 1-5 ATS in their last six games as an underdog.
Under the steady hand of second-year quarterback Matt Ryan and second-year head coach Mike Smith, the Falcons have gone an impressive 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.
While the Falcons are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against NFC South division rivals, I say they improve on those division ATS stats in this contest as Carolina has gone a dismal 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 meetings in Atlanta.
Play the Falcons to cover the NFL betting odds in this one pro football betting enthusiasts.

The question here is what Jake Delhomme shows up? The one that has thrown 9 interceptions in his last two games or the one who led his team to a 12-4 record last season.
Honestly I do not think it matters as the Falcons win this game by more than six regardless of how Delhomme plays.
