🔮 Rams vs. Panthers prediction
Rams -10.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gary Pearson: "Behind MVP odds favorite Matthew Stafford and a top-10 defense via EPA per play, the Rams have something to prove. They're playing the worst team among playoff participants, with the Panthers failing to score more than 17 points in four of six games to end the regular season."

🔥 Best Rams vs. Panthers player prop pick
Puka Nacua Over 7.5 receptions (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sean Tomlinson: "He's often the safest option for Matthew Stafford due to his ability to get open and unmatched contest-catch skills. That's translated to Nacua clearing this mark in four of his last five games, and twice convincinly so with 10 and 12 catches."
See Tomlinson's full analysis in his Rams vs. Panthers player props, including a trio of player prop bets.
🙌 Best Rams vs. Panthers anytime touchdown scorer pick
Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Liam Fox: "Even with Davante Adams returning from injury this weekend, Matthew Stafford can't ignore the NFL leader in receptions. Puka Nacua had six touchdowns over his last six games after scoring just four across his first 11."
