Why would anyone play ATL here? I don't get it.

Question

How is ATL favored here?

The only reason I can think of is that Cam Newton is probable.

This seems like such an obvious play given how badly ATL has looked this year.

Bookies don't give away money, so what gives?

Dan Quinn is 3-1 SU and ATS versus the Panthers since taking over the job in Atlanta. he’s done a number on Carolina QB Cam Newton as well, holding SuperCam to just 53.8 percent completions, five touchdowns, two interceptions and has sacked the dual-threat seven times through four meetings. Quinn's ability to counter Cam goes back to his time as the defensive coordinator in Seattle, where he went 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS versus Carolina. That includes a 31-17 win over the Panthers in the 2014 NFC Divisional Round in which Newton was sacked twice, fumbled twice, and threw two interceptions - one of which was a soul-crushing Pick 6 in the fourth quarter.
