Stephen Nover's NFL October Total of the Month
(NFL) Carolina vs. Atlanta,
Total: 53.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Panthers have shown they have plenty of weapons and can put up points despite missing Christian McCaffrey. Teddy Bridgewater has the third-highest completion percentage in the NFL. Robbie Anderson and D.J. Moore rank among the best wide receiver tandems in the league and Mike Davis has been solid filling in for McCaffrey.

The Falcons are decimated in the secondary especially at safety. Atlanta is giving up 34.5 points per game, second-most in the NFL.

Atlanta, though, can produce points with excellent skill position strength even if Julio Jones doesn't play. Veteran Matt Ryan can exploit a young Carolina defense.

So I have no trouble envisioning each team producing at least 27 points especially playing inside Atlanta's fast-track dome.
