Panthers vs Rams Prediction
Los Angeles comes into this matchup as the hottest team in the NFL and they have scored at least 34 points in four of their last five games. The Rams only have two losses on the season and four of their last five wins have been by at least 16 points. Carolina has been very inconsistent from week to week and they have scored nine points or fewer in three of their last five games. I do think the Rams are the way better team in this matchup, but it is never easy for a West coast team to play at 1pm on the East coast, so I am going to take all of these points with the Panthers at home.
