Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Bijan Robinson (Falcons) vs Tre'von Moehrig (Panthers) - winner: Bijan Robinson, 6.7 yds a carry - controls the line of scrimmage.
  • Chuba Hubbard (Panthers) vs Divine Deablo (Falcons) - winner: Divine Deablo, holding him to 3.0 yds a carry - nowhere to run.
In the Trenches
  • Don't expect much heat from the Falcons — a 49% win rate yields only 4.8 sacks and 18.8 pressures a game, led by Jalon Walker (3.3 sacks, 7.2 pressures a game).
  • Pressure could be scarce for the Panthers — a 50% win rate, 4.4 sacks and 18.4 pressures a game, and Jaelan Phillips (3.0 sacks, 6.9 pressures a game) headlines it.
Through the Air
  • Drake London is the engine of the Falcons' passing game — 44 yds a game on 48% separation.
  • Tetairoa McMillan should find soft spots all day, open 58% of the time for 47 yds a game.
  • Divine Deablo (Falcons) locks down his side, giving up open windows on just 34% of routes — and 0.3 picks a game.
On the Ground
  • Bijan Robinson sets the tempo for the Falcons — 102 yds a game on the ground at 6.7 a carry, churning off the right edge and moving the chains.
  • The Panthers lean on Chuba Hubbard, 14 carries for 41 yds a game at 3.0 a carry.
