This matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons is an interesting one heading into Week 5. They are two fringe teams who have had very different seasons to this point.
The Falcons have just been a disaster. They have yet to win a game and sit in last place in the NFC South. Atlanta should be 2-1 if they could finish a game. They have blown two fourth quarter leads of 10 or more points.
The Falcons continue to be one of the most confusing teams in football because their offense is electric but they do not win. The Dan Quinn era needs to come to an end soon.
For Carolina, the Matt Rhule era has taken a turn. After an 0-2 start, the Panthers have won their last two games, and they have done so without Christian McCaffrey. Their defense has improved and Teddy Bridgewater is looking like a legitimate starting quarterback.
This NFC South matchup is huge for both sides. Here are five bold predictions for this game heading into Week 5.
