Fresh off a rousing TNF victory in Week 5, the Atlanta Falcons will take on the Carolina Panthers as heavy road favorites on Sunday afternoon.
I'm looking beyond the traditional NFL picks markets and taking a long look at the NFL player props as I offer my Falcons vs. Panthers same game parlay pick for Sunday, October 13.

Falcons vs Panthers SGP for NFL Week 6
Bijan Robinson Under 68.5 rushing yards
Chuba Hubbard Over 59.5 rushing yards
Andy Dalton Over 220.5 passing yards
- Bijan Robinson Under 68.5 rushing yards
- Chuba Hubbard Over 59.5 rushing yards
- Andy Dalton Over 220.5 passing yards
The Atlanta Falcons are running the football the second-fewest times per game in the league, which means Bijan Robinson once again isn't getting many touches. The Carolina Panthers present a fairly easy matchup at 144.6 rushing yards allowed per game (26th), but I think Atlanta will favor the aerial attack on Sunday.
The Panthers are even worse at defending the pass, allowing 7.6 net yards per attempt, with only the Rams allowing a higher figure. They simply can't pressure the opposing QB, as the Panthers are dead-last in the NFL with a 13.1% pressure rate.
Kirk Cousins will be able to read a book in the pocket but the Week 6 player props for his passing lines are inflated after his historical 500-yard effort last Thursday night, as are Drake London's receiving lines. While my Falcons vs. Panthers predictions can see this duo tearing up the Panthers pass stoppers, they may not need to if Carolina can't score.
Robinson has gone below this line in four of five games this year while averaging a paltry 40 yards per game over his last three contests.
Chuba Hubbard continues to get disrespected by oddsmakers as he continues to climb Over low rushing totals. Let's add the Carolina tailback to reach the 60-yard plateau for the fifth straight game vs. an Atlanta defense that's fourth-worst in the NFL at stopping the run (148.4 rushing yards allowed per game).
Andy Dalton threw for 319 yards in his first full game under center for the Panthers this year before throwing for 220 yards in Week 4. He was held to 136 yards by the Bears last week, but I'm betting on a bounce-back performance for Dalton vs. the Falcons.
Atlanta is not nearly as effective as Chicago is at getting to the QB, as the Bears are seventh in pressure rate while the Falcons are 31st, ahead of only Carolina.
