My Rams vs. Panthers player props are focusing on Puka Nacua, Blake Corum, and Rico Dowdle as a tilt getting the largest spread in our NFL playoff predictions and wild-card matchups kicks off the postseason.

The Rams are a whopping -10.5 favorite. However, they'll need to go on the road for a game set to begin today at 4:30 p.m. ET from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. (FOX). Soggy conditions could be coming though, and I'm factoring that in while making my Rams vs. Panthers prop picks.

💰 Rams vs. Panthers best prop bet: Puka Nacua Over 7.5 receptions (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Follow all of our NFL analysis and betting advice for the 2026 NFL playoffs.

The NFL weather report for the wild-card round shows likely rainy conditions in Charlotte on Saturday afternoon. While that could impact deep passing, Puka Nacua is a target magnet at all areas of the field.

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. He's also averaging 11.8 targets per outing since Week 13.

🔥 More Rams vs. Panthers prop picks

Blake Corum Over 42.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The forecast leads to an even higher likelihood of more involvement from Corum, as does the possible blowout. He's been getting more work lately while averaging 64.8 rushing yards per outing across his past five games.

Corum has been closing the gap to Kyren Williams' workload-wise, getting double-digit carries six times during the back half of the season while averaging 5.1 yards per tote. Combine that efficiency with the likely run-first game script amid wet weather and the Panthers ranking 20th against the run, and there's a clear path to a yardage Over.

Rico Dowdle Under 46.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Game script is also central to this pick, with the Panthers likely needing to air the ball out often to stand any chance of a massive upset. They'll be deprived of an opportunity to lean on the run game, despite weather conditions that may call for it.

And any carries Dowdle does receive will be met with heavy resistance, as the Rams ranked 11th in yards given up to running backs on the ground per game this season. Dowdle has been inefficient lately too while averaging 3.3 yards per carry over his last five games.
