The Falcons travel to play the Panthers tonight. I'm picking Carolina @ home to win.

GB beat Atlanta at home in week 4 by 30 to 16. Additionally, Carolina will also visit GB just before Christmas. From current league results, GB has a very good chance to take the #1 seed for this seasons playoffs. Tonight's game should serve as a good chance to study the Panthers prior to the Dec.20,2020 meeting.

Smokey, although we disagree politically, I think you are spot on with the pick

Atlanta has such a great team for 3 quarters.

I would be more excited if McCaffrey was playing.

Dammit! I wanted to pick the Falcons figuring they'd still be riding the highs of the interim head coach. Just didn't have the guts to pull the damn trigger. No risk it, no biscuit!

Also because do you really trust the Lions? And really, my understanding (from post game talk, not watching) is if Todd Gurley just listened to Matt Ryan and did not score, they could have run the clock out and won. And Lions were lucky as heck...

But every year there is a team or two harder to pick and it seems to be the Falcons right now...

My feeling was if I had to put $5 on it, sure, throw it on Falcons, but I wasn't sure enough to be willing to risk to drop a game on everyone in NFL Pick'em! haha

I have some twisted sense of priorities, let me tell ya!

Carolina demonstrated a good ground game even without McCaffery. With nearly 2 months before GB host them at Lambeau, Bridgewater has fully recovered from his terrible injury and shown mobility as well as arm strength. He and their offense will continue to improve moving forward.

GB seems weak on run defense. Let's hope that the new and medically recovered players can do better stopping the run this season. ILB is still my point of focus.
