Hall had a big interception that set up a TD last week, but after Hall's injury the Bucs didn't exactly light up the Falcons secondary. Simms' rating even went down after Hall left the game.

But the Atlanta run defense is definitely a concern. Carolina's only 100+ yard rushing effort was in the first game against the Falcons.

The Panthers have to be worried about this game, though. They just gave up 194 to Julius, and now they have to face the league's #1 rushing offense.

More than any other single factor, the odds are very much against the Falcons being swept by both the Bucs and Panthers. That kind of double sweep of a winning team is extremely rare.
