The Atlanta Falcons are looking to end their four-game losing streak when they host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon.

The Falcons nearly held on in Berlin to take down the Colts, but Indianapolis prevailed in overtime. It was the second straight close loss for Atlanta, while the Panthers lost 17-7 at home to the Saints as -5.5 favorites.

Can the Falcons get back on track against the Panthers?

Here’s a breakdown of the odds, a player to watch, betting trends and my prediction for this matchup in Week 11.

Panthers vs. Falcons Key Player to Watch

Bijan Robinson, Running Back, Atlanta Falcons

After a few down weeks, Bijan Robinson broke out for 84 rushing yards on 17 carries in the Falcons’ overtime loss to the Colts. He had combined for just 111 yards on the ground in his previous three contests, so it was a good bounce-back showing for the back.

Robinson had 72 rushing yards on 13 carries and 39 receiving on five catches in the Week 3 shutout loss in Carolina. The Falcons weren’t able to run the ball much in that one, but they should look to control the pace and get Robinson involved at home.

Panthers vs. Falcons Prediction and Pick

The Panthers had some of us fooled. They had won four of five, with the lone loss coming to the Bills, and were favored last week. Then they reminded us exactly who they were in a 17-7 loss to the lowly Saints.

They now head to Atlanta and the Falcons return home after an international trip. It was the fourth straight loss for the Falcons, who at least got to 25 points in the defeat.

These are two of the lowest-scoring offenses in football with the Falcons at 18.7 points per game and Panthers at 17.7. I’ll fade both of them and take the under this week.

Pick: Under 42.5 (-110)
