Bill Speros writes: "The defending NFC South champion Panthers got throttled by Caleb Williams and the Bears 59-37 Sunday. The Falcons might not score 59 points in their first three games. They lost 20-13 at Pittsburgh. The Panthers can score – we saw that on Sunday – and they’ll be able to open things up against the Falcons. This shapes up as a classic 'Week 2' bounce-back game for Carolina’s defense."

Nick Hennion writes: "In Week 11, Bryce Young delivered a masterclass against Atlanta’s defense. A 30-27 overtime win saw Young throw for 448 yards and three touchdowns as a four-point pup. Accordingly, I predict the Panthers bounce back and earn a third straight win over Atlanta."
