The Carolina Panthers have already clinched the first wild card in the NFC playoffs, but when they visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon, they’ll be playing a team that has to win in order to punch their own ticket to the postseason. Atlanta could have clinched the second wild card last week, but they lost to the New Orleans Saints. Seattle remains on the edge of the wild card race and would clinch that last spot if they win and the Falcons lose. So Atlanta has a lot more to play for — while the Panthers would likely relish the chance to play the spoiler on the road. Let’s consider your NFL betting for this NFC South tilt.
