Here is my Week 10 Thursday Night NFL betting that I will take to the window. We'll start with our prop bets, then pick the game.

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers 

8:15 p.m. ET, TSN1/3, CTV2, and RDS2 

Line: Falcons -2.5 | Total: 41.5 points 

I am betting on the Falcons -2.5 points as offered at BetMGM. 

These two teams faced each other in Week 8 with the Falcons winning 37-34 in overtime. 

The Falcons are 10-3 straight up (SU) and 9-4 against the spread (ATS) the last 13 meetings against the Panthers and have scored at least 21 points in the 10 wins and fewer than 21 points in the losses.  

The market is reflecting a 22-19.5 Falcons win and my predictive models project an 80% probability that the Falcons will score at least 20 points and will gain a minimum of 150 rushing yards. 

The Falcons are 11-1 SU (92%), 10-2 ATS (83%) and 8-4 Over-Under when scoring 20 or more points and gaining 150 or more rushing yards the past five seasons. 

The Panthers are 0-21 SU, 2-19 ATS (10%) and 14-7 Over-Under (67%) when allowing 20 or more points and allowing 150 or more rushing yards over the past five seasons. 

Situational Trends and Angles 

  • The Panthers are 3-14 SATS (18%) following a game that went Over the posted total spanning the past two seasons.
  • The Panthers are 3-10 ATS (23%) in home games and have lost two of their last three games spanning the last three seasons.
  • The Panthers are 5-12 against the spread (29%) when facing a team with a losing record over the past three seasons.
