NFL FREE PICK: Take the Falcons. Despite their win over the Saints, the Panthers are a mess right now on both sides of the ball. Matt Ryan and the Falcons should light up a suspect Carolina secondary and Atlanta’s new and improved defense should hold Cam Newton in check. The Panthers may hang with the Falcons in the first half but at some point Atlanta will pull away. They have too many weapons and Carolina is inexperienced in its secondary. According to latest NFL trends, the Panthers are 0-4 against the spread in their last four games against the Falcons and 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to Atlanta.
