Well, you knew this was coming, but we've got some interesting numbers here about how Atlanta's defensive weakness matches Cam Newton's passing strength. Cover Watch looks at Thursday night's game and just how rare it is for a double-digit road favorite to cover.

Lane Johnson and D.J. Fluker were selected high in the draft, but both have troubling flaws in pass protection according to Word of Muth.

Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Panthers over Falcons
Here we go again. Underdog predicted to beat the under-performing Falcons. Then when the Falcons win, it's because the opponent was weak. Same story for about the 5th time this year.

I don't think they were saying that the Panthers should be favorites as DVOA has the Falcons rated higher, but that the Panthers are the most likely to pull of the upset.
Oh, and as long as the Falcons keep winning coin flips, they will be seen as not as good as their record because, well, they're not.
