Can the Falcons, with an 8-8 record, secure a victory against the Carolina Panthers, who stand at 4-12? The experts seem to believe so. Atlanta previously defeated Carolina 38-20 in their first encounter of the season during Week 6. Since that game, the Panthers have secured three wins while the Falcons have added four victories to their tally. Both teams are entering this matchup following losses in Week 17; Atlanta was narrowly defeated by the Washington Commanders with a score of 30-24 in overtime, and Carolina suffered a heavy loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ending at 48-14.

For Atlanta, this final regular-season game is crucial for their playoff aspirations. They not only need to win but also require a loss from the Buccaneers in their upcoming game against the Saints on Sunday. Despite this hope, experts have unanimously predicted a victory for the Buccaneers over the Saints in Week 18.
