What are some of the best prop bets available when the Carolina Panthers take on the Atlanta Falcons at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Week 8?
It’s not going to be easy for the Carolina Panthers in Week 8. They not only have to pick themselves off the floor after an embarrassing loss at the New York Giants, they the organization is also a 3.0-point underdog at the Atlanta Falcons in pursuit of avoiding a fifth-straight defeat, according to the latest odds from WynnBET.
There’s just no telling how messy this will get if the Panthers cannot get the job done. The team’s fanbase is already asking some serious questions about the current regime and defeat at an NFC South divisional rival and the subsequent 3-5 record that would follow has the potential to demoralize everyone associated with the franchise further.
The Falcons are no world-beaters by any means. But they have won three of their last four games and possess the sort of offense that can put up points on anybody.
Without further ado, here are our three best alternate bets for anyone looking to make a wager on Carolina’s trip to Atlanta on Sunday.
Alternate Bet No. 1

Carolina Panthers 1st half total points
- Over 10.5 points at +125
The Panthers will be looking to make a statement early in this one. They are a wounded animal and everyone should want to put last weekend’s pathetic display to the back of their minds right out of the gate.
Carolina might have some struggles containing a high-octane offense led by quarterback Matt Ryan. But from a defensive standpoint, the Falcons don’t have that much to be fearful of.
This is based on the premise things improve dramatically for quarterback Sam Darnold and his playmakers. However, there is a good chance the Panthers can score more than 10.5 points in the first half in Week 8, which is available at a tempting +125 (bet $100 to win $125).
